    Preheat oven to 400 degrees, line 9 inch pie plate with bottom crust
  • Step 2
    In med bowl combine sugar, tapioca and cinnamon stir to blend
  • Step 3
    Place blueberries in a large bowl and pour sugar mixture in toss until blueberries are well coated sprinkle with the lemon juice and let sit for 15 minutes

  • Step 6
    I wet top crust with a little milk and sprinkle sugar over it just before baking. You can use frozen blueberries without a problem' If you think your blueberries are extra tart an additional 1/2 of sugar can be used. But it is plenty sweet with just 2 cups
