THE BEST EVER BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F Combine 2 cups flour and salt in large bowl; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in enough water with fork just until flour is moistened.
• Divide dough in half; shape each half into ball. Flatten slightly. Wrap 1 ball of dough in plastic food wrap; refrigerate. Roll out remaining ball of dough on lightly floured surface into 12-inch circle. Fold into quarters. Place dough into 9-inch pie pan; unfold, pressing firmly against bottom and sides. Trim crust to 1/2 inch from edge of pan.
• Combine sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, nutmeg and cinnamon; mix well. Stir in blueberries. Spoon blueberry mixture into prepared pie crust.
• Roll out remaining ball of dough on lightly floured surface into 12-inch circle. Cut out decorative shapes in dough using a small cookie cutter. Place dough over filling. Seal, trim and crimp or flute edge. Cover edge of crust with 2-inch strip of aluminum foil so it don't burn.
• Bake for 35 minutes; remove aluminum foil. Continue baking for 10 to 20 minutes or until crust is lightly browned and juice begins to bubble through cut-outs in crust.
• Cool pie 30 minutes; serve warm. Store refrigerated.
• TIP::: If fresh blueberries are unavailable, substitute frozen blueberries and increase baking time by 15 minutes.

FAMOUS FRESH BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375ºF.
• Remove the 2 pie crust dough rolls from the refrigerator to warm to room temperature per package instructions. The one I use says to leave them out for approximately 10-15 minutes.
• Wash the berries and dry them well. I use a towel and lightly roll the berries across it to make sure they are dry. Set aside.
• Using a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, tapioca, and cinnamon. Mix well.
• Add the water and lemon juice to the sugar mixture, stir together until the resulting syrup is an equal consistency.
• Add the berries to the bowl, lightly fold them into the syrup to coat them.
• Line the bottom of the 9" deep-dish pie plate with 1 pie crust. Make sure to lightly press down to seal it to the plate, and push out the bubbles. Allow the edge of the crust to overlap the rim of the pie plate.
• Fill the bottom crust with the berry mixture, allow about 1/2 inch of vertical space between the top of berry filling and the rim of pie plate. Thus, you may not use all of the berry mixture.
• Cover the filled pie plate with the second crust, use your fingers and/or a fork to seal the edges of the top and bottom crusts together at the rim of the plate. Trim the excess off the edge.
• Use a knife to cut holes in the top crust to ensure the pie filling is ventilated. This can either be as elaborate as a lattice or simply just round holes spaced evenly over the surface. This is your chance to be creative.
• Bake at 375ºF for 1 hour or until filling is bubbly and crust is golden brown.
• Allow to cool on rack before serving, and enjoy the pie my husband calls his "favorite cake!".

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.
