This delicious wild blueberry pie is made with fresh wild blueberries and a flaky homemade crust.
Ingredients - Serves 8
- Ice water - 6-8 tablespoons
- Unsalted butter - 1 cup, cold and cubed
- Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
- Granulated sugar - 2 tablespoons
- All-purpose flour - 2 1/2 cups
- Unsalted butter - 2 tablespoons, cold and cubed
- Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
- Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
- Cornstarch - 1/4 cup
- Granulated sugar - 3/4 cup
- Fresh wild blueberries - 4 cups
Let's Get Started
- In a large bowl, combine the wild blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well to coat the blueberries evenly. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a separate bowl, prepare the pie crust by combining the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two equal portions.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of the dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the rolled dough to the pie dish and press it gently against the bottom and sides.
- Pour the blueberry filling into the pie crust.
- Roll out the remaining portion of the dough and cut it into strips to create a lattice pattern on top of the pie. Alternatively, you can cover the pie with a full crust and cut slits for ventilation.
- Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal the pie.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Serve the wild blueberry pie warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
