Press 2/3 of this crust mixture into a pie pan and set aside the other 1/3 for the crumble on top of the blueberry filling.
Filling - place the whole blueberries into the pie crust. Whisk together the crushed blueberries, lemon juice, remaining sugar, eggs and starch. Pour this mixture on top of the whole berries. Sprinkle the remaining pie crust mixture on top of the filling.
