🥘 Sour Cream Blueberry Pie Ingredients
Of course, I recommend making your pie crust from scratch, but you can easily use a store-bought one if needed! Other than some fresh (or frozen) blueberries, you really only need some typical baking ingredients!
- Pie Crust - 1 pie crust for the bottom of your pie. Try out my homemade butter pie crust, or use your preferred store-bought brand.
Filling
- Sugar - ¾ cup of white granulated sugar.
- Flour - 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour.
- Sour Cream - 1 cup of sour cream. I recommend using the full-fat version, but light would work as well.
- Egg - 1 large egg.
- Vanilla - 1½ teaspoons of pure vanilla extract.
- Cinnamon - ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- Salt - ¼ teaspoon of salt.
- Blueberries - 2½ cups of blueberries. Fresh is preferred, but you could also use thawed or frozen.
Topping
- Flour - 6 tablespoons of all-purpose flour.
- Sugar - 4 tablespoons of white granulated sugar.
- Butter - 3 tablespoons of cold butter.

🔪 How To Make Sour Cream Blueberry Pie
There's no need to par-bake your crust or use any complicated techniques, as this pie is really easy to prepare! Just grab your 9-inch pie pan, your stand mixer, a mixing bowl, and some foil, and then you are ready to begin!
When finished, you will have one 9-inch pie. Feel free to double the recipe and make 2!
- Preheat. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C/Gas Mark 6).
- Roll. Roll your butter pie crust into a 9-inch deep dish pie pan (or use a store-bought crust), and cover the edges with foil to prevent them from burning in the oven.
- Mix. In the bowl of your stand mixer (or in a large mixing bowl), mix together ¾ cup (150 grams) of sugar and 2 tablespoons (15 grams) of all-purpose flour.
- Beat. Beat in 1 cup (230 grams) of sour cream, 1 large egg (50 grams), 1½ teaspoons (7 milliliters) of vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon (1 gram) of ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon (1.5 grams) of salt at medium speed for 5 minutes. Then, use a silicone spatula to gently fold in 2½ cups (370 grams) of blueberries.
- Bake. Pour the filling into your pie crust and bake in the oven at 400°F (205°C/Gas Mark 6) for 30 minutes.
- Make the topping. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, use a fork to mix together 6 tablespoons (45 grams) of all-purpose flour, 4 tablespoons (48 grams) of sugar, and 3 tablespoons (42 grams) of butter.
- Add. Remove the pie from the oven and sprinkle on the topping, covering the entire pie. Bake for another 10 minutes or until the topping is golden in color.
- Cool. Take the pie out of the oven, remove the foil, and let it cool completely before slicing and serving.
🍴 What To Serve With Pie
You can add a dollop of stabilized whipped cream or chantilly cream to your pie when serving for an extra sweet touch! Everyone will love it! Enjoy!
💭 Angela's Pro Tips & Recipe Notes
- If you are using frozen blueberries, make sure to thaw them and drain them really well so that you don't add any extra moisture to the filling.
- If using a frozen store-bought pie crust, you do not need to thaw it before getting started.
- Make sure you use COLD butter in your topping. This is the key to having sweet chunks rather than the entire thing just melting over your pie.
- For an added crunch, you can mix some chopped walnuts into your topping!
🥡 Storing
Cover your pie with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge for 3-5 days.
Freezing Blueberry Sour Cream Pie
Let your pie cool completely, and then wrap it tightly with plastic wrap and foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight. Check out my guide on how to freeze fruit pie here.

❓ Recipe FAQs
Sure! Frozen blueberries will work just fine in this pie. However, you do need to let them thaw completely and then drain them extremely well. Go ahead and pat them dry with a paper towel, too. If you don't, they could add too much moisture to the filling and make your pie runny.
I recommend using my all-butter pie crust, but you could also try out a sweet shortcrust pastry or a different pie crust alternative. Of course, you can always grab a frozen pie crust from the store if you want to save some time!
Yes. Since the custard-like filling has sour cream (dairy), it is not shelf-stable. You can leave it out for a couple of hours at room temperature while serving, but it definitely needs to be stored in the fridge or freezer for any longer than that.
