Blueberry Pie

What do you do when Pi Day leaves you with excessive amounts of blueberries?  Make blueberry pie of course :)  It's quite easy to make and definitely a crowd-pleaser.  My coworkers will be lucky if I don't eat the whole thing tonight so they can get a taste tomorrow!

Blueberry Pie (adapted from Williams-Sonoma) 

Ingredients
1 9-inch graham cracker pie crust
Flour and granulated sugar for dusting

Topping
1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into 1/2 inch pieces

Filling
3 cups of blueberries
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 tablespoons flour

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  Lightly dust the bottom of your graham cracker crust with granulated sugar and flour
2. Make the topping.  Stir together the first 4 ingredients
3. Scatter the butter pieces on top.  Using your fingers or a fork, cut the butter into the dry ingredients.  Combine until the mixture forms large pea sized clumps.  Set aside
4. Make the filling.  Stir together all 4 ingredients until the blueberries are coated
5. Pour the filling into the crust and spread evenly
6. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the filling.  Press down lightly to set
