Blueberry Pie

Indulge in the ultimate summer dessert with our perfect Blueberry Pie recipe. This classic treat features a flaky, golden crust filled with juicy, sweet-tart blueberries, creating a harmonious blend of textures and flavors that will transport you to pie heaven with every bite.

Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup shortening, such as Crisco
  • 1/4 cup ice-cold water

For the Filling:

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Make the Crust:

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt.
  • Add the cold butter and shortening, and use a pastry blender or your fingers to work the fat into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add the ice-cold water, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together in a ball.
  • Divide the dough in half, and shape each half into a disk.
  • Wrap each disk in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Make the Filling:

  • In a separate large bowl, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is well combined.

Assemble the Pie:

  • Roll out one of the chilled dough disks to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
  • Place the dough into a 9-inch pie dish, and trim the edges to fit.
  • Fill the pie crust with the blueberry mixture, and dot the top with the remaining butter.

Roll out the second dough disk to a thickness of about 1/8 inch:

  • Use a pastry cutter or a knife to cut the dough into strips for a lattice-top crust.
  • Place the strips on top of the pie, weaving them into a lattice pattern.
  • Trim the edges of the strips, and press the edges of the lattice to seal.

Bake the Pie:

  • Bake the pie for 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • Cover the edges of the pie with foil if they begin to brown too quickly.

Cool the Pie:

  • Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Tips and Variations:
  • Use fresh or frozen raspberries or strawberries instead of blueberries for a different flavor.
  • Add a sprinkle of sugar on top of the pie before baking for an extra sweet treat.
  • Use a different type of pastry, such as shortcrust or phyllo, for a different texture.
  • Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top of the pie for a decadent treat.
Storage and Shelf Life:
  • Store the pie in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • Freeze the pie for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving.
