Blueberry Pie Ingredients

These are the ingredients you'll need to make this top-rated blueberry pie recipe:

· Sugar: This blueberry pie recipe starts with a cup of white sugar.
· Cornstarch: Cornstarch thickens the blueberry pie filling, preventing runniness.
· Cinnamon: Ground cinnamon adds subtle warmth.
· Salt: A pinch of salt enhances the overall flavor of the blueberry pie filling, but it won't make it taste salty.

· Butter: You'll need just a tablespoon of butter.

1. Sprinkle the berries with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt.
2. Pour the filling into the bottom pie crust and finish with a lattice crust on top.
3. Bake until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden.

Does Blueberry Pie Need to Be Refrigerated?

You can keep covered blueberry pie at room temperature for about two days. If you intend to keep the pie longer than that, you should keep it in the refrigerator. It will last there for up to five days.

Can You Freeze Blueberry Pie?

Yes, you can freeze blueberry pie. If you intend to freeze the pie, go ahead and bake it in a foil pan. Wrap the whole pan in storage wrap, then wrap it again in foil. Freeze for up to six months.

Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise

"I loved the pie," says greg T. "It was delicious. I followed the recipe, except I didn't bother with the lattice top. I also heated the blueberry mixture just enough to thaw my freshly frozen blueberries as this was a spur of the moment decision."

"I followed this recipe down to a T, but one change that I made that I absolutely recommend is adding lemon juice," according to one Allrecipes community member. "It does a phenomenal job of bringing out the flavor of the blueberries, and the pie has a nice tangy and tart taste as a result."

"Best blueberry pie I've ever eaten," raves Mel. "Easy directions. My family and I loved it!!! Plan to make it all blueberry season."
