How To Make A Blueberry Pie

  1. To make this delicious pie, start off by making the simple crust. I used my favourite pie crust recipe that you can find on my blog.
  2. Line a pie dish with the crust, as well as cut strips of pastry for latticing the pie later.
  3. Then make the easy blueberry filling by mixing all the ingredients together.
  4. Once well combined, pour into the prepared pie dish and spread into an even layer.
  5. Lattice the top of the pie with the prepared pastry strips.
  6. Bake the pie and then enjoy! I like serving it with ice-cream, soft whipped cream, or warm custard!

Tips For This Recipe!

  • Throughout the process, you want the pie dough to stay as cold as possible as this ensures a flaky crust.
  • When adding the blueberry filling to the pie crust, avoid adding too much of the liquid as this can make the pie soggy.
  • Let the pie cool fully before slicing.
  • This pie can be kept at room temperature for 1 - 2 days. For longer storage, cover and refrigerate the pie. If refrigerated, the blueberry pie will keep for 5 - 7 days.

How Do You Thicken Blueberry Pie Filling?

To thicken a fruit pie, it is best to add some cornstarch or flour to the filling. This will thicken up the juices that the blueberries release when baking. Adding a thickening agent, such as cornstarch, flour, or tapioca, will help you to achieve your desired consistency. This pie recipe uses 6 tablespoons of cornstarch to make the perfect thick but still juicy filling.

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1 pie crust

Filling

  • 6 cups blueberries
  • Zest of a lemon
  • Juice of a lemon
  • 7 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 egg lightly beaten for egg wash

Instructions
 

  • Lightly dust surface with flour and turn out the dough onto it.
  • Form the dough into a ball and divide it in half.
  • Flatten each piece into a disc and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate forat least 60 minutes.
  • Once dough has chilled, roll out on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle.
  • Transfer to a 9-inch pie dish and gently press into the bottom and sides.
  • Trim off any excess dough and line the pie dish with parchment paper and fill with pie weights (dried beans or rice also work well).
  • Roll out the second chilled dough ball into a 12" circle and use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice it into twelve 1-inch strips and set aside.
  • Bake the pie crust at 400F for 15 minutes and then remove the pie weights. Prick the pie crust with a fork all over and bake for 5 – 10 more minutes while you make the filling.
  • To make the filling, mix all the filling ingredients together in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
  • Add the filling to the pre-baked pie crust, being careful to not add too much excess liquid.
  • Using the prepared 12 strips of dough, weave a lattice crust over the top. Pinch the edges to seal well.
  • Brush with egg wash and bake at 375F for 50 - 60 minutes, or until crust is golden.
  • Serve warm as is, or with ice-cream, cream, or custard.

Notes

  • Throughout the process, you want the pie dough to stay as cold as possible as this ensures a flaky crust.
  • When adding the blueberry filling to the pie crust, avoid adding too much of the liquid as this can make the pie soggy.
  • Let the pie cool fully before slicing.
  • This pie can be kept at room temperature for 1 - 2 days. For longer storage, cover and refrigerate the pie. If refrigerated, the blueberry pie will keep for 5 - 7 days.
