1/2 to 1 cup brown sugar
2 cans blueberry pie filling
4 cups fresh blueberries, raspberries or blackberries
Crumble muffins into large crumbs. Mix sour cream with brown sugar, sweetening to taste. In a trifle dish, layer half of the crumbs, half of the sour cream mixture, one can pie filling, and half of the berries, repeat. Keep chilled until ready to serve. Best when served within 6 hours.
