Easy Blueberry Pie
I made this Easy Blueberry Pie with our homegrown blueberries. However, my blueberries were frozen. I only have two blueberry bushes and I get about 2 cups of berries per day. So I wash my berries, let them dry and freeze them. I can use them all year long that way. When I bake with them, I thaw them about halfway or more before baking. If you are new at making pie crusts, or just don’t like doing it, purchase a premade refrigerated double crust. Otherwise, use your own favorite pie crust recipe and make your own.
Ingredients – 2 pie crusts
Pour dry ingredients into a
bowl and whisk together.
Put the blueberries into a medium bowl.
Drizzle vanilla over berries and toss well.
Pour combined dry ingredients on top.
Toss well without breaking the berries.
Put prepared pie crust into a 9″ pie plate.
Place blueberry mixture on top of pie crust.
Dot with butter.
Place another prepared pie crust on top
of the pie plate. Seal the two pie crusts
together by crimping and fluting the crust
edges. Cut 1″ slices all over the top of the
pie crust to allow the steam to escape.
I have a pie form that cuts the squares
in mine but you do not need it.
Place in a preheated 425 degree oven,
on the lowest shelf, for about 50 minutes
or until pie crust is golden brown.

Your cake look delicious 🙂 beautiful presentation:) just today in forest I discovered that blueberries are ready !! So, perfect timing 🙂
Thank you! My bushes give me tart berries. Perfect for baking because I like tart. I bet the forest berries are delicious!
MMM! Sounds delicious. I was going to ask if I could use frozen blueberries and was pleased to see your mention of them right away. My mother brought me a huge bag of frozen berries, and there are only so many smoothies that one can stand. I can’t wait to try your recipe.
Awesome! I use mine for smoothies too. Enjoy!
Looks delicious.
Thank you Irene!
I love blueberries and this recipe looks great! 🙂
Thank you I love it!
Pie! I never ate pie before. My mom doesn’t have the ingredients… and she doesn’t want to make it.
Oh you poor deprived kid! You don’t know what you’re missing!!!
Hahaha. I want pie!
Looks so beautiful & tempting!
Thanks unfortunately my husband doesn’t like blueberries so It’s all mine…ugh.
🙂
Cake looks very delicious.
Thank you Sumith!
D > Our equivalent, at this time of year, is a blackcurrant and gooseberry pie. In a few weeks from now that would be blackcurrant and apple, and the gooseberries and apple change places quite nicely. I just love the idea of blueberry pie, though. In fact any sort of pie: pastry is only bad if you eat too much of it, especially if you don’t have any physical work to burn off the calories! But a pie at Sunday lunchtime won’t kill anyone – it might even bring a smile to their face!
Those sound so good. I never tried gooseberry but always wanted to!
J > I understand that the native American gooseberry is closer to its natural form than is the case in Europe, and is less palatable. Quite likely, though, there’ll be European gooseberry varieties grown commercially in America, likely in northern states and in Canada.
This pie looks delicious and best of all I can make it using frozen blueberries too. Because it’s difficult to get fresh ones here in India. Thanks Diane.
Even though I grow fresh blueberries, I freeze them. Everything I make with blueberries are with the frozen berries. I figured out if I put frozen blueberries in things like cake mix, they don’t all sink to the bottom like the fresh ones do.
An all time favorite pie! But that lattice on top is hard to cut out….at least for me….
It was a plastic form. I rolled out my dough, pressed it in the dough and when I picked up the dough all the little squares stayed on the counter! I love the way it looks.
Sounds easier than it is to me! 😉
The pie looks awesome!
Thank you! My husband doesn’t like blueberries so I end up with the entire pie! It lasts a week..lol
Oh wow … maybe you could freeze some for later 👍🏻
That would be nice! Sweets never last long here…lol I bought 2 boxes of Girl Scout cookies and froze them! I still haven’t opened them but I know they are there. 😂🤣
Yes it happens here as well!
This looks scrumptious! I love, love, love blueberries in anything, and I also freeze gallons every year. The grandkids love to pick with me. My guests at the inn would also choose blueberry pancakes over anything else offered!
Hahaha you mean you still get gallons with the grandkids helping to pick them? My granddaughter helps me but she seriously eats more than she picks….hahaha She even eats them right out of the freezer still frozen!
LOL!!! Well, the reason they love to go berrying with me is because they do eat all those berries! Plus, when we get home, we make “berries and cream” which is simply blueberries in a cup of milk with a tiny bit of sugar. They absolutely love it!
Such special memories.
Every minute!
Are your blueberry bushes in pots or in the ground Diane? We’re about to plant three, but in large pots. We’re a little warm for blueberries really, but in pots I can move them when the sun’s to strong. Plus I can keep the soil a little acidic than I could if they were in the ground. Two cups a day off two bushes is pretty good. I’ll love it if mine are that successful.
Mine are in the ground. We get below zero in winter at times and they are wide open to wind, no protection. I add acid to mine faithfully and believe it or not, I have never pruned them! I end up with more blueberries than leaves…lol
Your blueberry bushes give you 2 cups of berries a day? Whoa! That’s great!
I know isn’t that crazy! If I don’t pick them every day then the birds help themselves! They are over 20 years old and almost 5 feet tall. There has only been one year they didn’t produce and that was due to a freeze.
I also have a couple of blueberry bushes and freeze most of them for use throughout the rest of the year. Your blueberry pie looks great! Might have to try it this weekend.
Let me know how you like it.
I found that anytime I preparing blueberries for any kind of filling, squeezing fresh lemon Juice on them brightens the entire dish. Love this recipe & gonna have to try it.
That’s a great idea. I grow my own blueberries and use them after they are frozen most of the time. I only have 2 bushes so it takes about a week to get a nice quantity. Also, if I let them sit on the counter they tend to disappear before I get a chance to bake with them! lol
That is awesome that you grow your own. We have a blueberry festival here. Get 15 pounds every year and put up in the freezer. Still buy organic frozen berries when they are on sale. My hubby makes a smoothie every day. We go through them.
Oh yes I love making them too. I use them frozen and then I don’t use ice. My granddaughter loves them frozen right out of the freezer!
Me too. It’s like eating a fresh blueberry pop cycle. YUM!
Hi Diane – this is how my mom’s crust looked too … you both must have had the same gadget. It sure makes the berry pies look good. I know she ordered from “Country Store” but we also had a “Kitchen Glamour” store we used to visit occasionally. Those were the days before internet shopping – we bought items from catalogs that came to the house. We used to get a ton of catalogs. Thanks for sending the link Diane.
I used to be a catalog junkie! Then I figured out how to get the same items cheaper and with free shipping. Now I rarely get a catalog…lol
I was too Diane and loved them. I’d sit and spend hours looking through and didn’t always buy anything. I got a service for a while that you submitted names of catalogs and they put a hold on them showing up as no matter how much I’d call and say “no more” … that worked really well and I never got another one!
You crack me up!
