Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup plus 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 Monument Cafe All Butter Pie Crust, recipe follows
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup cold butter, cut into pieces

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Toss the blueberries, granulated sugar, 1/3 cup flour, cinnamon and lemon juice in a bowl. Place the filling in the Monument Cafe All Butter Pie Crust.

Combine the remaining 3/4 cup flour, brown sugar and butter and mix to a coarse meal. Scatter over top of the pie.

Bake the pie until the juices thicken and the pie is golden brown, about 50 minutes. Tent the pie with foil if needed to prevent over-browning. Let the pie rest 30 minutes prior to serving.

Monument Cafe All Butter Pie Crust:

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Dash salt
  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) cold butter, cubed
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup ice water

Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the cold butter cubes and pulse until a coarse meal. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and make a well in the center of the mixture. Add 1/4 cup ice water (strain the cubes) and toss the mixture, adding more water if needed to bring the dough together. Divide the dough in half and roll out on a floured surface. Makes 2 crusts.

    I have made six of these; it's wonderful recipe. I have a few suggestions for home baking: 1. Use fresh blueberries, if at all possible. 2. When mixing the filling, mush about 25% of the berries to blend into the flour, sugar and the rest. 3. Since 1.25 cups is only about 6 ounces, I'd increase that to 1.5 or 1.75 cups (6 to 9 oz. for a slightly more pronounced blueberry flavor, perhaps increasing the lemon juice by another teaspoon. 4. I used some of the lemon zest to add to some whip cream (1 c. cream and 1/4 c sugar, whipped for a topping.

    I too have used pre-made pie crusts, but look forward to trying the Monument Cafe's crust recipe.

    Hands down the best pie I've ever made. My husband is now constantly asking me to make it. I use a store bought crust when short on time.
