Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 recipe for flaky pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Pinch of salt

How to Make Blueberry Pie Slice

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Gently fold to coat the blueberries without breaking them. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Roll out the pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Place one half in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it into the corners and trimming any excess.
  4. Pour the blueberry mixture into the crust and dot with small pieces of butter on top.
  5. Roll out the second half of the pie crust and place it over the blueberry filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  6. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  7. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  8. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to allow the filling to set.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor; frozen berries can be used but may result in a soggier pie.
  • Ensure your pie crust is well-chilled before baking for the flakiest texture.
  • Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing for cleaner pieces.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute blueberries with other berries like raspberries or blackberries for a mixed berry pie.
  • Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, spiced flavor.
  • Top with a crumb topping made from flour, oats, and butter for a crunchy twist.

What to Serve With It

  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added creaminess.
  • A drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
  • Fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through.
