Blueberry pie is a wonderful dessert that’s both flavorful and easy to make, especially when you have frozen blueberries on hand. Here’s a step-by-step guide to baking a delicious blueberry pie that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
For the filling, you’ll need:
- 5 cups frozen blueberries (no need to thaw)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on your sweetness preference)
- 1/4 cup cornstarch (to thicken the filling)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the pie crust:
- Pre-made or homemade pie crust for both the bottom and top layers
- 1 egg, beaten (optional, for an egg wash to give a golden crust)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure an even bake for your pie. - Prepare the Filling
In a large bowl, mix the frozen blueberries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt. The cornstarch will help thicken the juices from the berries as they bake, creating a beautifully set filling. - Prepare the Crust
Roll out the bottom crust and carefully place it in a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess dough around the edges. Pour the blueberry filling evenly into the crust, spreading it out for a smooth surface. - Add the Top Crust
Place the top crust over the filling. For a classic look, you can weave a lattice top, or simply cover the pie with a solid top crust, making sure to cut a few small slits to allow steam to escape. Seal the edges by pressing them together, and brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish. - Bake the Pie
Place the pie on the center rack and bake for 45-55 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the crust is golden brown and the filling bubbles around the edges. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with foil. - Cool the Pie
Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing. This helps the filling set and gives you nice, clean slices.
Serving Suggestions
Blueberry pie is delicious on its own, but for an extra indulgent dessert, try serving it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy your homemade blueberry pie!
