Great Pie!

I love this pie. It's great because if you use frozen blue berries and refrigerated pie crusts you can have all the ingredients for a great Sunday desert in your freezer.
Fruit Pie with Crumb Topping
(From MarthaStewart.com)
Ingredients
            5 cups blueberries
            3/4 to 1 cup granulated sugar
            3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
            1 tablespoon lemon juice
            1/8 teaspoon salt
            1/2 Crumb Topping
Directions
.                 Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine 5 cups blueberries or other fruit with 3/4 to 1 cup granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Pour into pie shell; sprinkle with 1/2 recipe Crumb Topping.
.                 Place on foil-lined baking sheet in lower third of oven; reduce heat to 350 degrees. Bake until fruit bubbles and crust browns, 1 1/2 hours. If topping begins to brown too quickly, tent with foil. Let cool 6 hours.
Ingredients
            1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
            3/4 cup light-brown sugar
            1/3 cup granulated sugar
            1/4 teaspoon salt
            1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
            1 1/2 sticks chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Directions
.                 In a bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup light-brown sugar, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and cinnamon.
.                 Cut 1 1/2 sticks chilled unsalted butter into pieces. With your hands, work in butter pieces, until large clumps form. Divide mixture in half; freeze in plastic storage bags.
