I have been making this pie for many, many years. I do not bake the crust before I put in the filling. I bake the pie at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. The crust does not burn and the center of the pie sets up nicely.

The day before Thanksgiving, my son came home from the Farmer's Market with three boxes of red raspberries that were beginning to grow fuzz, so I had to use them immediately. I used them in this recipe instead of the blueberries. I thought I died and went to heaven (and so did everyone else)! With blueberries it's great, but with raspberries it's way over the top. Ten stars, at least!

This is the most beautiful bluebery pie!!! It came out perfectly for me. I have very large glass pie dishes so I doubled the amount of custard and used 6 large eggs. My blueberries are very large so I didn't add more. Absolutely lovely and excellent tasting as well. Served with vanilla ice cream and some preferred whipped cream. A huge hit in this house! Thank you for a keeper recipe! Oh yes I baked it a 450 degrees for 15 minutes and 65 minutes at 350 degrees. And I brushed my crust with whipped egg and covered the edges with a pie edge cover. Lovely lovely crust!!! Jelly :)

Wow! My husband and I are huge blueberry and custard fans so this was a big hit at our house. I split the filling between two of the shallower frozen crusts and it filled them perfectly.
