Serves 6

Recipe

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350.

Step 2: Wash and thoroughly dry the blueberries, then toss with 1 tbsp flour and ¼ c white sugar. Transfer to a pie pan.

Step 3: In a medium sized bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Add the butter with your fingers until small crumbles form throughout.

Step 4: Distribute the mixture evenly on top of the blueberries, starting at the center. I like to leave a little room on the edges for the blueberries to poke through.

Step 5: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is quite brown and the blueberries have bubbled.
