Description:
This delightful Lazy Day Blueberry Pie recipe has been a treasured gem in our family for years, discovered by Mom in a local blab sheet. π° It’s a true crowd-pleaser, especially when enjoyed slightly warm and paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream π¨ or even fat-free Cool Whip for a lighter touch. Don’t fret if you see the blueberries sinking a bit as it bakesβit’s all part of the charm! For a healthier twist, you can substitute 1 cup of sugar with 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup Splenda. Some adventurous souls have even doubled the recipe and baked it in a 9×13 pan for larger gatherings!

Instructions:

Preheat & Melt: Start by preheating your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Place the butter in an 8×8 square baking dish and let it melt in the preheating oven.

-
Bake to Perfection: Pop the dish into the preheated oven and bake at 350Β°F (175Β°C) for approximately 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remember, it’s crucial not to underbake! π
-
Final Touch: After baking, pull the pie out of the oven and sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of sugar over the top for that extra hint of sweetness. Let it cool slightly before serving, ideally with a scoop of ice cream or dollop of Cool Whip. π
