recipe: Blueberry cream pie

Pie making in the past has not always gone as planned.  I could never get the crust right.  And a recipe would never make enough, so my crust would look horrible and never reach the edges.

Well I think I found my pie crust cure.  

This recipe is all around good.  We have already eaten half of the pie and I know we will finish the other half soon.

The filling is sooo good, and the crumb topping is amazing.
