5 cups
fresh blueberries

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 400°F.

  7. Cool pie 30 minutes; serve warm. Store refrigerated.

This is the best blueberry pie I ever had. I've made this pie crust several times and it never fails. Even with assorted fillings, from chocolate cream to apple, this is the best crust ever!

Hi Jean, sorry to hear you had some issues with this recipe. It sounds like your oven may be running low. If the pie doesn't cook long enough or at a hot enough temperature, your pie filling won't set up like it should. Or, your blueberries could have been extra juicy. Hope this helps!

Hi Lynnette, after serving, you can loosely cover the pie and store on the counter for up to two days. After that, we would suggest refrigerating. Enjoy!

I had never made blueberry pie before, or many other pies for that matter. I had extra blueberries so I tried it and it was SO easy and DELICIOUS! Everyone raveddd about it! So simple, I ran out of fresh blueberries so I used 1 cup of frozen with the fresh and it was still great.

My oven is inconsistent so I made my own crust and turned out perfect but the filling was very runny. I followed each step for the filling too. Please advise:)

I made the pie using my own crust and it came out perfectly! I was afraid it would be more like a cobbler but it stood up perfectly. Love the recipe and will definitely use it again.

Do I put the pie in refrigerator after we ate some?

Great! Served it warm with vanilla ice cream, and everyone enjoyed it.

Various berries have different amounts of pectin which is the thickening agent for the pie filling. The recipe was written for blueberries and so the filling mixture amounts may not be quite right to use for blackberries.

This pie was very very good, although i have this one issue with it, the filling didn't cook properly, i tried to cook it further, then the pie turned black? is it because i used blackberry's instead of blueberry's? please reply

This was my first attempt at making a homemade pie. It turned out pretty good! I used frozen wild blueberries, but the pie turned out slightly runny not too much...maybe because they were frozen blueberries? The crust was delicious and very flaky. The crust rolled out very smoothly and did not stick. The pie tasted great and I would defiantly make again.

Very good pie with a lovely crust. Great instructions to not get burnt crust and runny pie. While I will go back to my old pie recipe, I will use the tips from this one!
