Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 2 cups wild blueberries
- 1/2 cup maple sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring the rack is positioned in the center of the oven.
- In a large mixing bowl, gently combine wild blueberries, maple sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Carefully mix until the blueberries are evenly coated with the sugar and spice mixture.
- Roll out the pre-made pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges decoratively around the rim.
- Pour the prepared blueberry mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly across the surface.
- Cut the butter into small pieces and dot them across the top of the blueberry filling.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set properly.
- Slice and serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips
- Choose the Right Blueberries: For the best flavor, opt for fresh wild blueberries if available. If using frozen, make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the pie.
- Don’t Skip the Cornstarch: This ingredient helps thicken the filling and prevents it from becoming too runny. Make sure to mix it well with the blueberries for even distribution.
- Crust Perfection: If using a store-bought pie crust, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before rolling it out. This makes it easier to handle and prevents cracking.
- Butter Bliss: Dotting the butter on top of the filling adds richness and helps create a beautifully golden crust.
- Cool Before Serving: Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes after baking. This helps the filling set, making it easier to slice and serve.
- Serve with a Twist: For an extra indulgent treat, top your pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful contrast to the warm pie.
