Guys. This year…. This year feels different. Maybe I’m growing up in my 43 year old body or something, but hold onto your hats folks because… I am MAKING a pie this year! Can you literally even? š
Don’t die of surprise, Mom. I know you just fell off your chair. I’m full of surprises lately.
First, I start making bread, and now I’m making pies!?!? I would have laughed in your face had you told me those facts five years ago. I’m not one to try new recipes, so you better believe that if something is good enough to share in my All Things Delicious section, it is a capital D-Delicious.
My favorite pie of all time is the sour cream blueberry pie from a local pie shop called Crowshaw’s Pies here in St. George, Utah. In fact, for my birthday this year I nixed the cake and went for the pie instead. It’s absolutely delish. If you ever come into town, I suggest stopping by.
But, if you are too far away to enjoy an authentic Crowshaw’s Sour Cream Blueberry Pie, then this is a great alternative! I made it in less than 20 minutes, and refrigerated it overnight before serving.
What pies are you making/buying for Thanksgiving this year!?! I have to admit, my mom always gives me the assignment to bring pies to Thanksgiving each year, and I usually buy them at Costco. Yep. I’m THAT person. <—-there is NOTHING wrong with that, right!?!
It is a little thicker than the Crowshaw’s version, but I decided that was a good thing!

I stand by this recipe 100%. It’s freakin’ delish.
I actually need a berry pie recipe for something next week so I’ll be using this! Thanks for sharing!!
You will NOT regret it! Mmmmmm. My daughter is turning 7 on Monday and she asked me to make it instead of birthday cake, so I’ll be making it again soon too!
I so happy I found this recipe. We used to have a Croshaws here in AZ, but they shut down a couple years ago, and I MISS THIS PIE SO MUCH! Thank you for posting :).
