Ingredients
Method
To Make the Blueberry Filling
- Stir together the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a large saucepan. Whisk in the water until everything has dissolved, over medium-low heat.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring regularly. Reduce the heat slightly and simmer for 2 minutes.
- Add the blueberries and increase the heat to medium-high, allowing the blueberries to release their juices. Continue heating and stirring, allowing the mixture to boil a little and thicken for about 8-10 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let mixture cool.
- Refrigerate filling in an airtight container for 4-6 hours to thicken. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
To Make the Cheesecake Pie with Crumb Topping
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 9-inch deep dish pie plate with non-stick baking spray.
- Place the pie crust in the pie plate. Fold the edges of the crust under and mold them to your preference. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- To make the cheesecake layer, beat the cream cheese until creamy.
- Add the sugar and beat the mixture until smooth.
- Add the egg and beat until full incorporated. Do not overbeat the batter.
- Spread the cheesecake batter in the prepared pie crust.
- Gently spoon the blueberry filling on top of the cheesecake batter.
- For the crumb topping, mix together the crumb topping ingredients. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the blueberry filling.
- Bake the cheesecake pie for 40 minutes.
- Remove the pie plate from the oven and place it on a wire rack. Let the cheesecake pie cool for 1 hour, then refrigerate for 2-3 hours, until completely chilled.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
