simple, very blueberry flavored pie

Updated on Feb 17, 2026

I am pretty much a purist when it comes to fruit pies; I don't add cream or anything else to dilute the wonderful berry flavors. I do mix different fruits in a pie; however, in different recipes. If you are using a 9" pie dish, cut back the berries to 4 cups and reduce the sugar by 1/4 cup, and use only 3 tablespoons of corn starch.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

One bite of this scrumptious blueberry pie and your taste buds will be happy. If you're a blueberry lover, then this recipe is for you. Inside a flaky, golden brown crust, the filling is sweet and bursting with fresh blueberries. Top it off with a big dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a wonderful summertime dessert. Fantastic!

Ingredients

  • 2 10-inch pie crusts
  • 5 cups fresh blueberries, washed
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar, plus more for topping
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon or lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water

How To Make simple, very blueberry flavored pie

  • Roll out bottom crust and put in sprayed 10' deep pie dish.
    Step 1
    Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. You can use my pie crust recipe or any boxed or frozen pie crusts. Roll out the bottom crust and put it in a sprayed 10' deep pie dish. Roll out the top crust, set aside.
  • Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, and corn starch.
    Step 2
    In a small bowl, add granulated sugar, brown sugar, and corn starch, and mix well.
  • Combine blueberries, lemon or lime juice, and sugar/corn starch mixture.
    Step 3
    In a larger bowl, add the blueberries. They can be frozen berries, but you have to measure them out first, then microwave them until thawed. Mix in the lemon or lime juice. Now stir in the sugar/corn starch mixture. Mix well.
  • Pour into the pie crust.
    Step 4
    Pour into the pie dish crust.
  • Top the pie with butter, and then the second pie crust.
    Step 5
    Place butter on the berries. Put the top crust on, cut, crimp the edge, and cut in the vent holes. If you want to use a lattice top, cut the strips and weave them on the top, and crimp.
  • Add an egg wash and a sprinkle of sugar.
    Step 6
    I sometimes add an egg wash or butter with a little sugar on the top crust.
  • Place in a 450 degree oven for 15 minutes.
    Step 7
    Place on the middle shelf in a preheated 450 degree F oven for 15 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to 350 degrees F, add a shield, and bake another 45 minutes.
    Step 8
    Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and put on a shield.
  • Bake until golden brown and cool.
    Step 9
    Bake for another 45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
