Best Ever Blueberry Cream Pie


3 cups fresh blueberries
1 (9 inch) deep dish pie crust
Creamed mixture:1 cup white sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sour cream
Crumble Topping:
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter
Directions: Sift together 1 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, and salt. Add eggs and sour cream. Stir until blended. Drop blueberries into prepared pastry shell and spoon sour cream mixture over berries. In another bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup flour. Cut in butter with pastry blender until mixture resembles course meal. Sprinkle this mixture over creamed mixture and berries in pie shell. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 55 minutes, or until lightly browned. We like to refrigerate until completely cool, and serve. Delightful!
