Homemade Blueberry Pie Recipe

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I have three favorite kinds of pie. Warm, at room temperature and chilled. Whether the pie is an easy Mile High Banana Cream Pie, a semi homemade Caramel Swirl Cream Pie or a streusel topped Apple Crumb Pie I’m an equal opportunity pie lover. This blueberry pie is a spectacular choice when blueberries are on sale or in season, and it’s a vintage flavor that’s always a hit with crowds. How to make Blueberry Pie with homemade pie crust. Scroll down for full printable recipe.

• Pie Crust – This recipe uses a homemade crust. You can make the pastry dough in advance and chill until making the pie to save time.
• Filling – The pie filling is made from scratch using fresh blueberries mixed with cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, cinnamon and nutmeg.
• Once you’ve added the blueberry pie filling to the pie shell, dot all over the top with cubed butter.
• Cut strips of pastry using a pastry wheel or a pizza cutter then form the lattice design on top. Crimp the edge of the pie crust using the finger pinch method.
• The top of this pie is bushed with heavy cream and sprinkled with turbinado sugar for crunch.
• Once the pie is baked per the recipe allow it to cool on cooling rack at least 4 hours so the juices can thicken and set.
• Slice and serve with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.

How to Make the Best Blueberry Pie Recipe

• Ingredients you’ll need to make easy Blueberry Pie Recipe: One Flaky Pie Crust Recipe to make a double crust, 6-7 cups fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, cubed butter, heavy cream and turbinado sugar for the top.
• Kitchen gadgets you’ll need: 1 9 inch deep dish pie dish, mixing bowls, pastry cutter, measuring cups and spoons, a pastry wheel, lemon zester, pastry brush and aluminum foil or a pie crust protector to cover the edges of the pie while baking.
• Turbinado sugar or sugar in the raw is less likely to burn when sprinkled on top of baked goods and in this instance, the lattice crust. It adds shine and crunch to the top crust in this easy blueberry pie. To apply it, simply brushing the top lattice crust with heavy cream and a light sprinkle of turbinado sugar prior to baking.
• To add pizzazz you can also use small cookie cutters in various shapes to decorate the top crust.
• Allow the pie ample time to cool prior to slicing to give the juices time to congeal just a bit. If you like it warm, you can cut it sooner, it’s your call. I find it’s best to cool it completely, then warm it ever so slightly for serving a la mode with vanilla ice cream.
• Store leftover Blueberry Pie at room temperature or chilled for up to 5 days. It won’t last that long.
