Homemade Blueberry Crumble Pie

This is the one of best blueberry crumble I’ve ever made.  A crisp and crunchy topping is the perfect match for a juicy berry pie filling. You can substitute any fresh berries. So easy and tasty. Especially with a warm nice tea. Or you can serve with vanilla ice cream.  Kids like that too.

Good luck and enjoy this yummy dessert. 

Ingredients:

Crust:

• 3/4 cup canola oil (175 ml)

1. Preheat the oven to 350F (180C).
2. To make a crust put flour, salt, and sugar in a small bowl stir well. Now add the oil, vanilla, and milk until combined. Remove 1/4 cup of it, setting aside for the crumble topping. 
3. Press the remaining dough evenly into a 9-inch pie dish, make sure it isn’t too thick on the bottom. Prick the bottom of the crust all over with a fork, then place the pie plate on the baking sheet and bake in the oven until lightly golden about 15-20 minutes. Remove and set aside.
4. To make a filling: In a large bowl combine the blueberries, lemon juice, sugar, flour, and cornstarch. Mix well and pour into prepared pie crust spreading it evenly. 
5. Raise the oven temperature to 400F (200C). 
6. In a small bowl combine flour, sugar, and salt. Using your fingers blend in butter until the mixture is crumbly. Add vanilla, and 1/4 cup saved pie crust dough to crumble mixer, blending it in with your fingers.  Sprinkle the topping evenly over the blueberry filling.
7. Bake the pie for about 20 minutes then lower heat to 350F (180C) for another 30-35 minutes until the topping is golden brown and blueberry filling just begins to bubble.  Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Or you can serve the warm pie with vanilla ice cream. It’s so good ;
