Blueberry Pie

The best blueberry pie made from scratch using fresh blueberries and simple ingredients.  This blueberry pie filling is thick and holds together with each slice.  It’s perfect served with vanilla ice cream or topped with whipped cream.

You know I love a good slice of pie, and blueberry was one type of pie that I’d never had.  However, after my mom decided to test and create this recipe – and I had a delicious slice – I knew I had to share it with you.

Homemade Blueberry Pie Filling

Making the blueberry pie filling could not be simpler!  There’s no heating of the ingredients.  You just simply mix!

1. Rinse the fresh blueberries.
2. Combine blueberries and lemon juice. In another bowl, combine sugar, tapioca, cornstarch, and cinnamon.
3. Add the blueberries to the dry ingredients and toss until fully coated.

After creating the filling, add flour to the bottom of the unbaked pie crust and then add the blueberry pie filling.  Dot with butter and then add the topper.

Bake in a 350˚F preheated oven for 40 minutes.  Turn the oven up to 375˚ F for 10-20 minutes or until the blueberry filling is bubbling and the ingredients have been fully incorporated.

Let the pie cool and then slice to enjoy!  This blueberry pie is packed with flavor because of the fresh blueberries.  I hope you’ll enjoy this recipe as much as our family has!

Blueberry Pie Tips and Techniques

• Let the pie fully cool.  It takes about four hours for a pie to fully cool enough to be sliced.  If you slice the pie too soon, your pie filling may be too runny.
• Fresh blueberries are preferred.  I would only use fresh blueberries with this recipe.  Frozen berries will contain more juice and may alter the results of this recipe.
• Do not prebake the pie crust.  This recipe is made with an unbaked pie crust.  Because of the baking time, you do not need to pre-bake the pie crust.
• You do not need to refrigerate the baked pie until you slice into the pie.  The pie does not need to be refrigerated until you take out a slice.  Once you do, store in the refrigerator covered.  The pie will last up to 2 days at room temperature un-sliced or up to 3 days sliced in the refrigerator stored in an airtight container.
• Avoid a gritty pie.  This pie needs to really bubble to fully incorporate the ingredients.  It may boil over just a bit.  If you find that you still see the tapioca ingredients, then let it boil a bit longer.
• Avoid a burnt crust.  About 30 minutes after baking, add a pie crust shield to avoid the pie crust edges from getting too dark.
