Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 pie
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter, diced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring the rack is positioned in the center of the oven.
- Carefully wash the fresh blueberries under cool running water, gently patting them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh blueberries, sugar, all-purpose flour, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Gently fold the ingredients together, ensuring the blueberries are evenly coated without crushing them.
- Allow the blueberry mixture to sit for 10 minutes, which helps the flour absorb some of the fruit's natural juices and creates a thickening effect.
- Transfer the blueberry mixture into a prepared pie crust or baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Dot the top of the blueberry filling with the diced butter pieces, distributing them across the surface to enhance flavor and create a rich, golden finish.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the top begins to turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set properly.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.
Tips
- Choose the freshest blueberries possible – farmers' market or just-picked berries will elevate your pie from good to extraordinary.
- Don't rush the mixing process: gently fold ingredients to avoid crushing the delicate blueberries, which helps maintain their beautiful shape and burst of flavor.
- For an extra crispy top, consider adding a streusel topping or a sprinkle of raw sugar before baking.
- Let the pie cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set – this prevents a runny mess and ensures perfect slice presentation.
- Experiment with a mix of fresh and frozen blueberries if fresh aren't in season – just be sure to adjust baking time slightly.
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream can transform this pie from delicious to absolutely divine!
