  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.25 cup sour cream
Blueberry Layer
  • 3 cups blueberries fresh or frozen (if frozen, do not thaw)
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Crumble Topping
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 0.25 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cut into small cubes

Equipment

  • 9-inch pie plate
  • - Baking Sheet
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and ¼ cup granulated sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly while you prepare the filling.

  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and ½ cup granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and beat until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until incorporated. Pour this cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust.

  3. In a separate medium bowl, gently toss the blueberries with ¼ cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir until the blueberries are evenly coated. Spoon this blueberry mixture carefully over the cheesecake filling, distributing them as evenly as possible.

  4. In another medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, and cinnamon. Add the cold, cubed butter. Using your fingertips or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  5. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the blueberry layer. Place the pie on a baking sheet (this helps catch any drips) and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set with a slight jiggle in the center and the crumble topping is golden brown. If the crust or topping starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent the pie with aluminum foil.
  6. Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This is a crucial step for the cheesecake to set properly. Once cooled to room temperature, cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before slicing and serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up perfectly.
