Easy Blueberry Pie

Enjoy an Easy Blueberry Pie made with homemade blueberry pie filling and a flakey golden crust. This classic dessert is easy to make and your family will love it all year long.

Blueberry pie and homemade cherry pie are classic desserts that are perfect all year long. We love making both of them for 4th of July and for Thanksgiving. No matter what time of year it is, there is always room for a fresh fruit pie.

The biggest problem with a homemade blueberry pie is getting the filling to bake just right. A runny pie is not good.

Blueberries are a juicy fruit, so we have found that cooking the pie filling first helps to eliminate some of the excess moisture in the filling.

Why This Recipe Works

A blueberry pie is one of the easiest desserts you will ever make. A pre-made crust keeps things easy if you are a new baker. You can make them so pretty with a lattice pie top or cutting shapes into the top crust.

The best part about this pie is that the homemade blueberry pie filling can be made ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake. The filling in this pie is so good and tastes like summer.

There is nothing better than serving slices of this easy blueberry pie with homemade vanilla ice cream. It's sure to become one of your family's favorite desserts.

How to make Blueberry Pie

Making a blueberry pie is actually quite easy. Follow our simple steps and you can have one cooling on your counter in no time at all.

1. Make blueberry pie filling. Make sure you plan enough time for the the pie filling to cool to room temperature. It is best to make it ahead of time, so it has time to cool completely before making the pie.
2. Prepare bottom pie crust. Unroll one of the pie crusts and place it in a 9 inch pie plate. Whisk the egg white until foamy and brush a thin coat over the entire crust. Refrigerate at least 15 minutes.
3. Cut out top pie crust. Unroll the second refrigerated crust and use a tiny star cookie cutter to cut stars (or other shapes) out of it. You can also just use a full crust and cut slits in it.
4. Assemble the pie. Fill the chilled pie crust with pie filling and cover it with the cut out crust. Crimp the edges and add the additional pie crust shapes all over the pie.
5. Bake the pie. Whisk the egg yolk and water together and use a pastry brush to brush it lightly on the top crust. Sprinkle with raw turbinado sugar and bake until golden brown and bubbly.
6. Cool completely. Set the pie on a cooling rack for at least 4 hours to let the filling thicken up. Once the blueberry pie has cooled, cut it into slices and serve with vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped topping.

Storing the Pie

Cover the blueberry pie loosely and keep it on the counter for 2-3 days. To keep the pie longer, cover it tightly and place in the fridge for 5-6 days.

Tips and Tricks

• Make the pie filling ahead of time, so it is cool when you want to make the fruit pie.
• Fresh blueberries make the best pie filling. If you need to use frozen berries, make sure they are thawed and drained well before making your pie filling.
• Brush the top of the pie crust with an egg wash. As the pie bakes, the crust will turn golden and crispy.
• Sprinkle raw sugar over the pie crust for a delicious sugary crunch.
• Start the pie at a higher temperature for 20 minutes to set the crust and to cook the filling.
• Use a pie shield or tin foil on the pie crust edges to keep them from over browning or burning.
• Let the fruit pie cool at least 4 hours before cutting into it. If you can let it rest overnight, that is even better.
