Summer is such a great time of year for fresh fruit, especially locally grown fresh fruit at farmer's markets and grocery stores and right now you can find fresh blueberries for a great price and even though they're great for eating plain, a blueberry

How-To Make a Simple Blueberry Pie with Homemade Filling
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made refrigerated pie crust
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 cups fresh blueberries rinsed and strained
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 egg for the "wash"
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- In a large bowl, mix sugar, flour, and cinnamon using a fork or whisk.
- Gently toss the blueberries to coat with the flour mixture.
- Spoon blueberry mixture into pastry-lined including any flour mixture that is left in the bowl.
- Sprinkle the blueberry mixture with lemon juice and dot with pats of butter.
- Cover with top crust.
- Flute the edges and vent the pie crust. Simple cuts through the dough will suffice, or you can make a design. I like to add initials or simple cutouts to my pies.
- Use a pastry brush and apply the egg wash to the top crust and the fluted edges of the pie.
- Cover the pastry edge with aluminum foil strips and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until pie top is a golden brown.

Mary Beth, I have the last of our blueberries just sitting in my fridge waiting on me to make this! And that pie plate by PW is the cutest!
Oh, Jane...you have your own blueberries??? That is so awesome. I am dreaming of my next house and that's one of the things I want to grow....blueberries! If you do make the pie, enjoy a slice for me. xo
Girl, you are so cute! I saw the C & C in the crust. LOVE it! And I have never made a blueberry from scratch pie. I thought it was too hard. LOL Funny thing since I make my own pie crusts. I think Tim would be in heaven if I made it for him... it's his FAVORITE!! Thanks! Now to figure out the GF version. 😉
Ahhhh...you noticed the C&C 😉 It will be our little secret! I didn't really know how easy blueberry pie filling was, either, until I made this pie. The crust, now....that's another thing. I literally have never made a pretty crust. The last time I made one from scratch, I actually was having such a hard time that Joey made it for me and he did a great job. I hope you can figure out a GF version for Tim. *hugs*
I can't wait to try this, it looks amazing!
Thanks so much, Kristin!
This looks so delicious and easy. I’ll have to make this while our blueberries are so in season now. I’ve never made fresh blueberry pie, only red raspberry.
You had me at store-bought pie crust! I just got home from picking 5 pounds of berries and am ready for a pie!
Thanks for this easy recipe. Can’t wait to try!
Thanks so much for letting me know, Cindy! I hope you liked the pie and store-bought is my middle name. 😉 Anything to save time and stress.
can you use lime juice instead of lemon juice
Hi Debra - you certainly can use lime juice instead!
