I got this recipe from my mom who, it turns out, got it from my aunt. We all love this recipe! It’s so easy and the fresh blueberries on top make a nice contrast to the cooked filling in the middle. For the crust, you just process the ingredients in the food processor (or you can do this by hand if you don’t have one) and press it into the bottom of your pan. For the filling, you just toss blueberries with some flour, sugar and cinnamon and pour it on top of the crust before baking. After it has baked you top the tart with some fresh blueberries. Easy!
I usually use frozen blueberries for the filling since 5 cups of fresh blueberries can expensive, but when blueberries are in season and we go blueberry picking, I use all fresh.

In order to avoid sogginess, I put the frozen blueberries in the microwave to thaw them a bit. Then I drained off some of the accumulated juice. Pie was delicious. I read that blueberry juice is good for you. Your dad will drink it.

Good idea. I haven’t had an issue with sogginess but that would be a good way to ensure there is none.
