Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, rhubarb, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir until the fruit is evenly coated.
Roll out the prepared pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim any excess dough around the edges and crimp the edges if desired.
Pour the blueberry-rhubarb mixture into the pie crust and spread it out evenly.
Dot the filling with the 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, distributed evenly across the top.
To make the almond crumble, in a medium bowl, combine the sliced almonds, flour, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix well.
Add the cubed butter to the almond mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the almond crumble evenly over the top of the filling.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake for 50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the topping is golden brown. If the edges of the crust begin to brown too quickly, cover them with foil or a pie crust shield.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to set before serving.
Serve at room temperature or slightly warm. Optional: Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
