Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using a sugar substitute and a low-fat biscuit mix. If you don't have pecans, walnuts or almonds can be great alternatives. To enhance the flavor, add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the crumble mixture. Ensure the blueberry filling is evenly spread for balanced sweetness in every bite.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh blueberries instead of pie mix?
Yes, you can use fresh blueberries! For a homemade filling, combine 2 cups of fresh blueberries with 1/4 cup of sugar and a tablespoon of cornstarch, and cook until the mixture thickens before adding it to the casserole dish.
What can I substitute for whipped oleo?
You can substitute whipped oleo with unsalted butter or a dairy-free margarine. If you're looking for a vegan option, coconut oil works well, but it may impart a slight coconut flavor.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free version, simply use a gluten-free biscuit mix. Ensure that your blueberry pie mix is also gluten-free, as some brands may contain gluten. This way, you can enjoy this delicious dessert without the gluten.
