Few desserts capture the bright flavor of summer like blueberry crumble pie, especially if you use fresh, peak-season berries. Fortunately, with this pie recipe (and in many recipes with blueberries<\/a>), you can get that sweet berry goodness all year long.<\/p>\n

Blueberries freeze quite easily, whether you buy them that way or do it yourself (here’s how to freeze fresh blueberries<\/a> and other fruit). If you can get your hands on wild blueberries, all the better. They’re intensely sweet, and they hold their shape well in blueberry crumble pie, popping between the flaky bottom crust and the crunchy topping as you bite into each forkful. If you can’t find wild blueberries, that’s OK. Any blueberry variety will do in this crumble pie.<\/p>\n

Made with shortbread cookies and oats, the crumble topping looks less formal than a double pie crust<\/a>, and it complements the natural sweetness of the blueberry filling. For an added twist that really ups your blueberry pie game, go for the optional hints of thyme and lemon zest. And to make it look even more rustic, bake the pie in a cast-iron skillet.<\/p>\n
