Simple Very Blueberry Flavored Pie Food

EASIEST EVER BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Make pie crusts as directed on box for Two-Crust Pie using 9-inch glass pie plate.
• In large bowl, mix blueberries, 1/2 cup of the sugar, the tapioca and lemon juice. Spoon into crust-lined pan. Top with second crust; seal edge and flute. Cut slits in several places in top crust. Brush top crust with milk; sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.
• Place foil or cookie sheet on oven rack below middle rack to catch any spills. Place pie on middle oven rack. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. After 30 minutes of baking, cover crust edge with foil to prevent excessive browning, if necessary. Cool at least 2 hours before serving. Serve warm or cold.

MYSTERY INGREDIENT WILD BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Press 1 pie crust pastry into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
• Stir blueberries, sugar, flour, and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Add almond extract; stir to coat. Pour blueberry mixture into the prepared pie crust. Dot the blueberry mixture with butter pieces. Top with second pie crust, crimping the two crusts together. Brush top crust with milk. Make a few incisions with a knife into the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking. Wrap the edges of the pie with aluminum foil to avoid burning.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and continue baking until blueberry filling is bubbling and crust is browned, 20 to 25 more minutes. Cool before serving.

SIMPLY DELICIOUS BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Press one of the pie crusts into a 9" glass pie dish, making sure to press the bottom and sides gently against the glass dish.
• Combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl. Add blueberries and toss to coat.
• Add the blueberry mixture to the pie plate, sprinkling excess flour, sugar and spices evenly over the berries. Spread out berry mixture so it is fairly even in the dish.
• Take the second pie crust and lay it over the pie, folding the meeting edges of dough over to make a seal. Crimp the edges with your fingers or by placing fork tines against it to ensure the crust is sealed.
• Using a knife or fork, cut a few slits in the top pie dough so steam can escape from the pie.
• Bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until pie is golden brown. After 20 minutes of baking, you may want to use a pie shield or aluminum foil to cover the pie edges if they start to brown too quickly.
• Cool completely to room temperature before serving.

EASY BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Make Dough: Combine flour and salt. Cut the butter into the flour using either a pastry cutter or two forks, until you reach a crumbly texture. Slowly drizzle in water while mixing until the dough can be formed into a loose ball. Divide into two equal balls, pat into disk shapes, wrap in plastic wrap, and set in the fridge to firm up for at least an hour.
• Filling: Mix together your blueberries, cornstarch, sugar, lemon zest, cinnamon, and salt.
• Bottom Crust: Preheat oven to 400 degrees Remove one of the pie crust disks from the fridge and roll into a large circle (at least 1 inch larger than your pie pan, I recommend a 9 inch pie pan). Transfer the crust into the pie pan, leaving ½ inch overhang on all sides.
• Fill It: Spoon blueberry filling into the crust, gently evening out the top.
• Top Crust: Remove the other pie crust from the fridge and roll into an equally large circle. Cut dough into 1 inch wide strips. Lay a row of dough strips going one direction (horizontal). Fold half of the strips back over themselves, then lay a strip going the other direction (vertical). Lay the horizontal strips over the vertical, then fold the other half of the horizontal strips to repeat, weaving the dough strips to form a lattice pie topping.
• Bake: Brush dough with whisked egg, optionally sprinkling with a bit of sugar. Set pie in the oven, with a baking sheet below it to catch drips. Bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees F, then reduce temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking for 35 minutes, or until filling is bubbling at the edges. If you notice crust beginning to brown too much, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
• Serve: Allow pie to cool before serving to allow blueberry filling to thicken.

EASY BLUEBERRY HAND PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment or silicone baking mats.
• Lightly flour your work surface then unroll the pie crusts. Cut out as many circles as possible from each crust using a 3- to 4-inch round cookie cutter, rerolling the dough scraps if necessary.
• Arrange half of the circles on the baking sheets, spacing them at least 1 inch apart (these are the bottom crusts). Set aside the remaining circles (these are the top crusts).
• Stir together the blueberries, sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Divide the blueberry mixture among the bottom crusts, leaving a 1/4-inch border around each circle.
• Top each bottom crust with 1 of the top crusts and crimp the edges together with a fork. Cut small slits in each top crust to vent steam. (Alternatively, cut out shapes with a smaller cookie cutter from each top crust.)
• Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water then brush onto the top crusts. Sprinkle sanding sugar on top then bake the hand pies until golden brown and the blueberry juice is bubbling, about 15 minutes.
• Remove the hand pies from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheets before serving. (See Cook's Note.)

LUSCIOUS BLUEBERRY PIE PERFECTION!

Steps:

• Move a rack to the center of the oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Stir gingersnap crumbs with light brown sugar and melted butter in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
• Bake the crust on the center rack of the preheated oven just until set, 3 to 4 minutes. Baking too long will make the crust hard to cut. Remove the crust and let cool.
• Stir cornstarch and water in a saucepan until smoothly mixed; add sugar and 1 1/2 cups blueberries. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the blueberry sauce is thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in remaining 2 1/2 cups blueberries and lemon juice.
• Pour filling into the gingersnap crust and refrigerate until chilled and set, at least 1 hour.

FIVE-MINUTE BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir in water until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add blueberries. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour into crust. Chill. Garnish with whipped cream if desired.

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.
