My favorite pie of all pies is homemade blueberry! Well....and huckleberry, too, but this one is for wild blueberry today. ;) :) I keep working on it until I perfect it, and I think this is pretty close to being called done! It's a cooked kind that never fails me, and doesn't run all over the place when you cut into it. Even when still slightly warm! Hope you enjoy! ~Photo by me~

    For Crumb Topping: Place cut-up butter into medium-sized mixing bowl. Drizzle with vanilla. Add the 1/4 cup sugar and the flour. Cut in butter until crumbs. *I just do this with my fingers. Sprinkle over pie. Sprinkle top with 1/2-1 tsp. sugar. Pop into pre-heated 400 degree oven, close door, reduce heat to 375, and bake for about 40 minutes until it just starts to bubble and crust is golden brown. Remove and cool on counter. Can store, covered, on counter at room temp., or placed into the fridge and chilled.
