Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need for this delightful pie:
Crust:
- 2 ready-made pie crusts (or your favorite homemade recipe)
Filling:
- 4 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons butter, diced
- 1 tablespoon sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
Prep Work:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
- Line the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate with one of the pie crusts.
Step 2: Mix the Blueberries
- In a mixing bowl, pour in the fresh blueberries.
- Sprinkle the blueberries with fresh lemon juice and gently mix them together.
Step 3: Add the Goodness
- Add sugar, flour, and a pinch of salt to the blueberries.
- Stir gently to coat the blueberries with this sweet mixture.
- Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared pie plate.
Step 4: Top it Off
- Dot the top of the blueberry filling with diced butter.
- Cover the pie with the second pie crust.
- Seal the edges and create vents on the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Cover the edges with a narrow piece of foil to prevent excessive browning.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
- Place the pie in the preheated oven.
- Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 20 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C).
- Continue baking for another 20-25 minutes until the filling is bubbling and the crust is beautifully golden brown.
- If needed, remove the foil from the edges during the last 10 minutes to allow them to brown.
Step 6: Sweet Finish
- Once the pie is out of the oven, sprinkle the top crust liberally with sugar.
- Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
- Slice into this fresh and flaky blueberry pie.
