Prep Time: 30 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 4 cups fresh blueberries
  2. 1 cup sugar
  3. 2 tbsp cornstarch
  4. 1 tbsp lemon juice
  5. 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  6. 1 deep dish pie crust

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring the rack is positioned in the center of the oven.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine fresh blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Stir carefully to coat the blueberries evenly without crushing them.
  3. Roll out the deep dish pie crust and carefully transfer it to a 9-inch deep dish pie pan, pressing the dough gently into the bottom and sides of the pan.
  4. Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared pie crust, ensuring an even distribution of fruit and filling.
  5. Optional: Create a lattice top or full pie crust cover for the pie. If using a full top crust, cut several small slits to allow steam to escape.
  6. Crimp the edges of the pie crust to seal the filling and create a decorative border.
  7. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any potential overflow during baking.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  9. If the crust edges begin to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
  10. Remove from the oven and let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2-3 hours to allow the filling to set completely.
  11. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Tips

  1. • Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the most intense flavor and best texture. • Avoid overmixing the filling to prevent breaking down the berries. • Let the pie cool completely to allow the filling to set, which prevents a runny consistency. • For an extra golden crust, brush the top with an egg wash before baking. • Use a baking sheet underneath to catch any potential overflow and prevent oven mess. • If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before mixing to prevent excess liquid. • Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate indulgence!
