A toasted almond crumble does double duty in this fresh blueberry filled pie as both the bottom crust and the top crisp. Golden and buttery with a hint of nutmeg, truly this is one of the easiest and most delicious pies of the season!

I particularly enjoyed making this pie because for the first year, my blueberry bushes had enough fruit! I will admit to some very harsh words exchanged between myself and both the local robins and squirrels who were in constant competition with me to snag the berries the second they became ripe. There may also have been threats that involved the words ‘pellet gun’. Fortunately, there were no casualties involved in the making of this pie.

Fresh Blueberry Almond Crumb Pie comes together in minutes!

  • Mix together toasted almonds, butter, flour, sugar and spices.
  • Pat half of the crumb mixture into a pie plate.
  • Stir together fresh blueberries with lemon zest, sugar, and corn starch.
  • Top the berry mixture with the remaining crumble.
  • Bake until golden and the berries are bubbly!

How to make Fresh Blueberry Almond Crumb Pie

Begin by toasting the almond slices.

Spread almond slices onto a cookie sheet or large baking pan. Bake for approximately 10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes until golden and fragrant.

After the almonds have cooled slightly, place in a ziplok bag and use a meat pounder or rolling pin to crush them into smaller pieces. Do not crush the almonds to the consistency of flour, texture and shape is desirable here.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pulverized almonds, cold butter pieces, flour, sugar, salt, almond extract, and fresh grated nutmeg. Use a pastry cutter or two knives to create course crumbs.

Firmly pat half of the crumble mixture into a 9″ pie plate, trying to keep a consistent thickness though out.

Top the berries with the remaining crumble topping. Bake the pie on a large, foil lined baking sheet to catch drips promote an evenly browned crust.

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes. Thaw the berries and double the amount of cornstarch since frozen berries tend to release more liquid then fresh berries.

Can I substitute or use other berries?

Definitely. Feel free to choose any of your favorite berry combinations, like strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, or gooseberries. And while not technically a berry, fresh cherries combine great with blueberries as well.
