Ingredients:

Crust

• 2 cups flour
• 2 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup oil
• 3tbsp milk

Pie Filling:

• 1 quart washed blueberries
• 3 tbsp cornstarch
• 3/4 cup of sugar
• Ground cinnamon
• Grated nutmeg
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 4 tsp butter

Making the Crust:

In a pie plate, mix flour, sugar and salt. Then whisk oil and milk together using a fork. Now pour this over the flour mix and keep stirring until the flour is properly dampened. Add a little more oil or milk if required. Press the dough evenly at the bottom and the sides of the pan, letting the excess overflow.

This top crumble crust will form about 1/3 of the total crust mixture. Now sweep this in your hand and keep in a bowl. Tuck the ends of the bottom crust or flatten the crust using a milk dipped fork.

Preparing the filling:

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

Add cornstarch, sugar, cinnamon and grated nutmeg to the fresh and washed berries. Stir lightly.

Put the berry mixture in the bottom crust & spray lemon juice on it. Put 1/2 tsp soft butter evenly around the filling.

Crumble extra crust over the top.

Bake for about 45 to 50 mins. Check it after 30 minutes, if the crust starts to brown and the filling is not congealed, put an aluminium foil over it to prevent the crust from browning.

Serve it with cream or ice cream.
