Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- In an unbaked pie shell, spread half of the blueberry pie filling in the bottom.
- Set the remaining pie filling aside.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a flavored cream cheese or adding a tablespoon of lemon zest to the filling. If you don't have sour cream, Greek yogurt can be a great substitute. Ensure the pie shell is not overbaked to keep it flaky, which is essential for pies like Polly'S Cheese Cookies or Creamy Frozen Lime Pie.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this pie chilled or at room temperature for the best flavor. It pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For an additional treat, serve alongside Date Drop Cookies for a delightful dessert spread that complements the blueberry filling.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover blueberry pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent it from drying out. To reheat, place slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to retain its creamy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh blueberries instead of canned pie filling?
Yes, you can use fresh blueberries! You'll need about 4 cups. Combine them with sugar, cornstarch, and a splash of lemon juice to create a filling. This will give you a fresher taste, although the texture may vary slightly from canned filling.
What can I do if the pie crust is too soggy?
If your pie crust turns out soggy, try pre-baking it for a few extra minutes before adding the filling. Additionally, brushing the crust with a beaten egg before filling can create a barrier to moisture. This technique can help prevent sogginess in recipes like Dr. Byrd'S Cake as well.
How can I make this pie more festive for holidays?
To make the pie more festive, consider adding a lattice crust on top or decorating with whipped cream and fresh blueberries. You can also sprinkle some powdered sugar on top before serving. For a holiday twist, add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling.
