Blueberry Crumb Pie

Blueberry season is here!
I always love to take my two little boys to the local Blueberry patch to help me pick.
If you do not have a U-pick blueberry farm near by, or it is off season. You can find blueberries to be sold quite reasonably at Costco.
Now on to the pie. . .
I have been wanting to make a good blueberry pie, and found this recipe in a old family cookbook.
This pie did not disappoint.
A buttery pie crust filled with fresh blueberries, then topped with a crunchy oat crumb topping. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you have got the whole package of blueberry pie goodness.
Enjoy!
