You can also add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors. If you want a sweeter crust, a tablespoon of sugar can be mixed in with the flour.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen blueberries for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen blueberries, but be sure to thaw and drain them first to avoid excess moisture in the pie. This will help maintain the right texture and prevent a soggy crust.
How can I make this recipe dairy-free?
To make Blueberry Pie Delight dairy-free, simply substitute the margarine with a plant-based butter or coconut oil. Additionally, check the labels on your nuts to ensure they are processed in a dairy-free facility.
What can I do if my crust is too crumbly?
If your crust turns out too crumbly, try adding a tablespoon of cold water or an extra tablespoon of margarine to bring the mixture together. Mix gently until it holds together without being overly wet.
