What Are Individual Blueberry Crumb Pies?

Individual blueberry crumb pies are just like their bigger blueberry pie and blueberry crumble cousins, except miniature — the best of both worlds in one bite. My recipe has you lining a muffin tin with homemade pie crust (store-bought would be fine too!), instead of a pie dish, filling it with blueberry pie filling, and topping it all off with a cinnamon crumb topping that you’ll want to just eat straight out of the bowl. But control yourself, that topping makes these Blueberry Crumb Pies.

How To Make Individual Blueberry Crumb Pies

This recipe has three steps: making the pie filling, making the cinnamon crumb topping, and assembling the pies. That sounds like a lot, but the process goes super quickly — plus, you can make both the crumb topping and pie filling two days in advance! Here’s how you’ll make them:

Gemma’s Pro Chef Tips for Making Individual Blueberry Crumb Pies

The blueberry pie filling will not only cook down, but it will continue to settle and sink as it cools, so make sure you fill those cups! Also be sure to give them a nice round mound, so the pies don’t concave. Don’t let them cool too long in the tins! The pie filling may have bubbled out, making it harder to remove. If you don’t want to make mini pies, go ahead and use this recipe to make a whole pie. Use only one pie crust, prebaked, and then continue on to make the filling and topping. Use my homemade pie crust. If you’re out of brown sugar, make your own! Prepare in advance: both the crumb topping and the pie filling can be made 2 days ahead of time.

How To Store Individual Blueberry Crumb Pies

Any leftover blueberry crumb pies can be kept at room temperature for up to 3 days. Just as a suggestion, these wouldn’t make a bad substitute for a breakfast muffin, so they may not last that long!
