This delicious homemade Blueberry Pie recipe is made with fresh blueberries in a made from scratch lattice crust. Top it with some fresh whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
I buy Fresh blueberries when they are in season and I can find great deals on them and I freeze them to use in smoothies, muffins or desserts year-round.
Homemade Blueberry Pie And Crust
This Blueberry Pie is a delicious classic dessert that I grew up watching my grandmother make. We are huge fans of fruit pies and peach and Blueberry are my favorites!
Tips For Making Blueberry Pie
- You can use fresh or frozen blueberries. If you use frozen blueberries thaw them before using.
- To avoid spillage bake pies on a cookie sheet lined with foil for easy clean up.
- If the outer pie edges start browning too much then cover them with a Pie Crust Protector Shield prevent additional browning.
- Keep the crust dough cool before using for a crispy and flaky crust.
- You can use a whole crust on top instead of a lattice crust if you prefer. Place a few slits in the crust with a knife to vent it.
- To save time you can use a pre-made pie crust instead of homemade. You can find them in the refrigerator section of your local grocery store.
- Let the pie cool before serving to allow filling to thicken and make it easier to slice.

I made this recipe, it was very good, moist and the blueberries weren’t overly sweet. This pie I will definitely make again, and share with my friends.

I prefer a little runny blueberry pie. Should I omit the cornstarch or just halvei it. This recipe looks interesting and easy to follow. Love blueberry pie.

Hi Mollie. I would try just adding half the a mount of cornstarch if you want a little more liquid in it. Let us know how it turns out.

Do you think this pie could be frozen and cooked later, or would it be too watery?

I haven't tried freezing it first but I do think it would be too watery.
