Ingredients

Blueberry sour cream custard filling

1 unbaked pie crust
1 cup sour cream
¾ cup sugar
1 egg
2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla
¼ teaspoon salt
2 ½ cups fresh blueberries

Streusel topping

½ cup brown sugar
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup butter, softened
½ cup chopped pecans

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Prepare 1 single-crust pie crust and line a pie plate with it, trimming and folding edges under and crimping into a decorative scallop with your fingers. Set aside while preparing the filling.
In a large bowl, mix the sour cream, sugar, egg, flour, vanilla and salt until smooth. Gently fold the blueberries into the custard mixture. If you stir the blueberries in too vigorously your whole pie will turn purple! Pour into the unbaked pie crust and then bake in the preheated 400 degree oven for 25 minutes.
While the pie is baking, prepare the streusel topping. In a medium bowl combine the brown sugar and flour. Mix in the butter with a pastry cutter or just using your hands until crumbly. Mix in the chopped pecans.
When the pie crust and blueberry custard filling has baked for 25 minutes, pull it out of the oven and sprinkle the streusel over the top of the pie. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until filling is set and topping is brown. Watch your crust to make sure it doesn’t burn. Either use a crust shield or make a loose foil tent towards the end of baking to protect the edges of the pie from burning.
Remove from oven and let pie sit for at least 30 minutes. This pie can be served either warm or cold - it's delicious either way!

Notes

Thanks, Christina, for bringing this pie into my life! :) Custard filling and streusel topping lightly adapted from Mel's Kitchen Cafe, who based hers on The Girl Who Ate Everything, who created her recipe from All Recipes. Obviously this pie has made the rounds! The pie crust recipe is my favorite for a single-crust pie and can be found in this post for a Perfect Pie Crust.
