Mixed berries offer variety; frozen options are often less expensive.

Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of flour, 0.75 cups of sugar, a pinch of salt, and 1.5 sticks of cubed butter.

Mix until the butter is well combined, creating a crumble texture.

Take about a fourth or a third of the crumble mixture and press it into the bottom of a 10x10 baking dish.

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes.

While the crust is baking, crack 2 eggs into a bowl and whisk them together.

Add 1 cup of sugar, 0.33 cups of flour, 0.5 cups of sour cream, and a pinch of salt to the eggs and mix well.

Fold in 3 cups of blueberries into the mixture.

Once the crust is done baking, pour the blueberry filling over the crust evenly.

Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture over the top of the filling.

Mix 1 tablespoon of sugar with a little cinnamon and sprinkle that over the top.

Return the dish to the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 55 minutes until browned on top.

After baking, let it cool for 45 minutes to 1 hour before cutting.
