Ingredients
Instructions
- Wash and drain the blueberries.
- Mix blueberries, sugar, flour, butter, lemon juice, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
- Pour the mixture into a prepared pie crust.
- Bake in a 350°F (175°C) oven until the crust is golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a thicker filling, consider adding a bit more flour or cornstarch to the blueberry mixture. If fresh blueberries are unavailable, frozen ones can be used; just be sure to thaw and drain them before mixing. Using a hint of nutmeg can also enhance the flavor profile. If you want to reduce sugar, try substituting with honey or maple syrup for a different taste.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the blueberry pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Cherry Cream for a refreshing finish. For a more festive touch, garnish with fresh mint leaves or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. This pie also makes a great addition to summer picnics or family gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover blueberry pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through. This helps maintain the crust's texture while warming the filling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of berries for this pie?
Yes, you can substitute blueberries with other berries such as raspberries, blackberries, or a mix of berries. Just keep in mind that the sweetness level may vary, so you might need to adjust the sugar accordingly. Each berry will give a unique flavor to the pie.
What can I do if my pie crust is too soggy?
If your pie crust is already soggy, you can try to salvage it by placing the pie in the oven again for a few minutes to help it crisp up, though results may vary.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. You can also check by inserting a toothpick into the filling; it should come out clean if the filling is set. Keep an eye on it, as baking times can vary depending on your oven and the thickness of the crust.
