Blueberry Pie

Bev's Note:

I love the taste of mouth watering Fresh Blueberry Pie! Yum! This blueberry pie is probably the best I have ever tasted. I hope you will enjoy it, too! I do not use the refrigerated pie crust when making this pie, I use Classic Pie Crust, Idiot Proof Step-By-Step Photo Tutorial. A NOTE to those who have made this pie before, I have increased the amount of flour in the ingredients list from 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup.

• Total Time: 50 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 35 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 8

Yield: 1.0 pie

• 5 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 (15 ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon sugar

Directions:

1. SPRINKLE berries with lemon juice; set aside.
2. FIT half of pastry in a 9-inch pieplate according to package directions.
3. COMBINE 1 cup sugar and next 3 ingredients; add to berries, stirring well.
4. Pour into pastry shell, and dot with butter.
5. UNFOLD remaining pastry on a lightly floured surface; roll gently with rolling pin to remove creases in pastry.
6. Place pastry over filling; seal and crimp edges.
7. Cut slits in top of crust to allow steam to escape.
8. Brush top of pastry with beaten egg, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar BAKE at 400° for 35 minutes or until golden.
9. Cover edges with aluminum foil to prevent overbrowning, if necessary.
10. Serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired.

If you want a fresh blueberry pie that isn't "jam-like" but bursting with whole berries please use this recipe!! I used Pillsbury pie crust and even managed to make a lattice top crust. It was delicious - and it was gone in 2 days!!
