Humble Blueberry Crumble Pie

Submitted by Cynna

"Quick and tasty blueberry pie. I love using fresh picked blueberries for this, but I have used frozen when fresh weren't available. Comes together really fast and is great for most any occasion."

This is a Cooking Light recipe that we love. Be warned that it doesn't hold together like a regular pie, it's much "looser," which is where the crumble part comes in.

This pie was OK. It was similar to a sour cream raisin pie, but the crust and topping just didn't seem compatible with the topping. I think that we would have really enjoyed the filling in a regular crust with a meringue topping.

I'm not rating b/c I didn't actually taste this; I made it for a friend who'd been in an accident and thought it would cheer him. He proclaimed it "excellent." I used a packaged shortbread crust instead of graham, and only 3 cups of blueberries -- 3 cups filled the crust almost completely. This was easy to make.
