• 2-4 tablespoons ice water

For the Blueberry Filling:

• 3/4 cup granulated sugar

• 1/4 cup cornstarch

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

For the Streusel Topping:

• 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

• 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Make the Pie Crust:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar.

2. Cut in the Butter: Add the chilled butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

3. Add Ice Water: Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.

4. Form Dough Disc: Shape the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Make the Blueberry Filling:

1. Prepare Blueberries: If using frozen blueberries, thaw and drain them well.

2. Mix Filling Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to coat the blueberries evenly.

Make the Streusel Topping:

1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.

2. Add Melted Butter: Pour the melted butter over the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture is crumbly.

Assemble the Pie:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Roll Out Crust: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish, leaving about a 1-inch overhang. Transfer the dough to the pie dish and trim any excess.

3. Add Filling: Pour the blueberry filling into the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly.

4. Add Streusel Topping: Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the blueberry filling.

Bake the Pie:

1. Bake: Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the streusel is golden brown.

2. Cool: Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving to let the filling set.
