- FORMING THE PIE SHELL: Lightly flour the work surface and dough.

- Fit the dough into a 9-inch oven-proof glass pie pan and trim away all but 1/4 inch of the excess dough.
- Turn the excess dough under and flute the edge of the pie.
- Chill while preparing the filling.
- MIXING THE FILLING: Rinse and pick over the blueberries and drain them on a paper-towel-lined pan.
- Combine one third of the berries and the sugar in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Simmer the berries in the juices that accumulate about 5 minutes.
- Strain the juices into another pan.
- Pour the water into a small bowl and stir in the cornstarch to dissolve it.
- Return the blueberry juices to a boil and beat about one quarter of it into the dissolved cornstarch.
- Return the remaining juices to a boil and beat the cornstarch mixture into it.
- Return the juices to a boil, beating constantly, and allow to boil about 1 to 2 minutes, beating constantly.
- Stir in the remaining blueberries, the cooked berries, lemon zest and walnuts, and cool.
- MIXING THE CRUMB TOPPING: Cream the butter until soft, add the sugar and cream until soft and light.
- Beat in the cinnamon.
- Mix in the flour, then the walnuts.
- The mixture should fall into large, soft crumbs.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pan and smooth.
