Blueberry crumb pie might be my favorite way to make blueberry pie. It’s the sweet crunch against the tart berry and that little hint of cinnamon that reminds me of coffee cake that makes this so perfectly wonderful.

Three ago I took three children to the blueberry farm behind my house and although the heat was a bit dreadful, we managed to gather four pounds of blueberries and come home and make pies. Everyone had their hands in the rolling, stirring and assembling. We made blueberry crumb pie.

We have gone back every year, a tradition we look forward to. We picked over five pounds today, and I’ve written some tips here for how to have a successful blueberry picking and how to store them.

Baking Blueberry Crumb Pie with Fresh Blueberries

I have a recipe for blueberry pie filling pie filling that requires cooking, but this was made much more simply, just fresh berries, tapioca and a little sugar thrown into a pie crust and

Blueberries are everywhere in my kitchen, as I’ve already been five times to the Golden Bell Blueberry Farm. I also made blueberry buttermilk muffins with cinnamon top,  and a real favorite, my blueberry thyme biscuits

A favorite recent blueberry recipe is this blueberry thyme galette.

My homemade blueberry pie filling doubles as a sauce for all kinds of desserts. Trifle, hand held blueberry pies, cake parfaits as shown here or even blueberry sundaes.

When Retro Rose first served us this recipe as a blueberry sauce with angel food cake, she first topped the cake with a drizzle of chocolate. I doubted the goodness of this, but I was wrong. It was amazing.

Feel free to play around with this recipe. I’ve added in a few strawberries; sometimes I add in blackberries, or raspberries. Be creative and enjoy.

To make these angel food cake parfaits, layer cake and filling and refrigerate for 30 minutes or more. Top with chocolate syrup if you dare and a little whipped creme before serving. Or serve warm over vanilla ice cream. I most recently made sweet corn ice cream and used this blueberry sauce for the swirl.

Just today I saw a recipe  for a blueberry pie ice cream from Amy’s blog, She Wears Many Hats,  yet another way to use this blueberry filling.
