Can you believe that I have never tasted a slice of blueberry pie? Blueberries were on sale, and well, doesn’t that always mean it’s time to try a new recipe?
I did some digging and found our family recipe for blueberry pie. I was a little unsure if cinnamon should really be used a an ingredient in this pie, but it was amazing. Cinnamon and warm blueberries is the perfect flavor combination.
I have to say, for this being my very first blueberry pie. It was delicious.
Since we’re talking about firsts, this was my first time taking my four ingredient flaky pie crust and making it into a pretty lattice weave! That was way easier than I thought it would be, and it turned out so pretty. It would have looked a little better if I had cut the strips into equal sized strips, but eh, my guesstimations gave it character, right?
We served this easy homemade blueberry pie with scoops of frozen custard. We each enjoyed a piece of pie while watching a Doctor Who episode. AJ is getting closer to being caught up, we already said goodbye to David Tennant as The Doctor and we’ve moved onto Matt Smith. I’m pretty sure we both cried. At least I know I did. A lot.
If you find yourself with spare blueberries you should probably whip up this pie. Actually, no, scratch that. Go to the store now, buy these ingredients, tie on your Tardis apron (everyone has one of those, right?) and get to baking!
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 425°.
- Sprinkle sugar, cornstarch, salt, and cinnamon on top of blueberries and stir.
- Roll out first pie crust on a floured surface, using a pizza cutter cut into 1/2 inch strips
- Place second whole pie crust in a pie pan.
- Add blueberry filling.
- Weave your crust into a lattice design, or simply overlap
- Place 1 pie crust in a pie dish
- Bake for 20 minutes at 425°. Reduce heat to 350°F and bake for 30 to 40 minutes more or until juices are bubbling and have thickened.
- Let cool before serving.
We go blueberry picking every July. Pies are a great way to use them. I can’t wait for summer to try the recipe.
Another great recipe! I would love for you to share this sweet creation over at my link party Making Memories Mondays going on now! 🙂

I probably would have thought twice about the cinnamon too. I am glad you tried it and liked it! I will have to try it myself!
Isn’t it such a weird addition to a recipe like this? I guess there are weirder things out there though, like putting sour cream into a cake, and that’s also always delicious. I hope you try this out and love it as much as we did. Now I want to see if there’s a good sale on blueberries, because I’m pretty sure I need to go make this again.
My daughter loves blueberries. Thank you for coming to the Inspire Me Monday Linky party on Monday. I’m Janice, one of your hostesses.
