BLUEBERRY PIE FILLING

Steps:

• In a saucepan, add 3 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 2 tablespoons water, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Stir just to combine.
• Cook the blueberries over medium-low heat for about 10-15 minutes or until it begins to thicken. Remove it from heat and let it cool down. Store in airtight glass jars.

EASY PIE FILLING

Steps:

• In a large microwave-safe bowl mix milk and egg yolks.
• Add the dry mix to the liquid and whisk together till smooth.
• Cook in microwave 5 minutes, stirring once.
• Cook an additional minute and stir again.
• If pudding isn't thick yet, do 30 seconds more, or til pudding consistency.
• Take from microwave and stir in 2 tablespoons butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
• Cool and eat or put in a baked pie crust.
• Variations: For chocolate Pie add 2 tablespoons cocoa to the dry mixture. It floats on the milk for a minute or so, but stirs in as it is cooked.
• For coconut pie: Add 1 cup coconut to the milk mixture. Sprinkle a little coconut on top of the meringue before browning.
• For a peanut butter pie: In approximately 1/4 cup of peanut butter, work in powdered sugar until it is crumbly. Cover the bottom of the baked pie crust with peanut butter crumbs before filling with chocolate pudding. Mix more crumbs if needed. Top with cool whip sprinkled with chopped peanuts. Crunchy peanut butter works, too to make crumbs.

APPLE PIE FILLING

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice and set aside. Pour water into a Dutch oven over medium heat. Combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg in a bowl; add to water, stir well, and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

EASY-AS-PIE BLUEBERRY PIE FILLING

Steps:

• The easiest way to defrost the blueberries is to simply leave the bag in the fridge overnight or for a couple hours. But you can also do it in the microwave for about 5-6 minutes on your microwave's defrost setting.
• However you defrost them, empty the bag's contents-- blueberry juice included, that's important for flavor and consistency-- into a heavy-bottom saucepan.
• Stir the blueberries with the sugar on high heat for a minute or two.
• Lower the heat and stir in the cinnamon, and let simmer for about another 5 minutes.
• Add the arrowroot until thickened and let simmer until a thick and syrup-y consistency happens.
• Pour into a 9" pie crust, a premade or homemade one, and let chill in the fridge for about an hour unless you like to eat it warm.
