Easiest Ever Blueberry Pie

Recipe Ingredients

You only need a few basic ingredients to make this showstopping recipe!

Pillsbury™ Pie Crusts: These pie crusts are flaky, delicious, and so easy to use! They spread easily into your pie plate and save significant time over from-scratch recipes.

Fresh Blueberries or Frozen Cascadian Farm™ Organic Blueberries: You can’t have a blueberry pie without blueberries! This recipe is just as delicious with fresh or frozen blueberries, so use whatever works best for you.

Quick-Cooking Tapioca: Tapioca helps to absorb the excess juices from your blueberries, thickening the filling. The result is a smooth, firmer pie filling that tastes delicious and remains inside the pie crust!

Other Ingredients You’ll Need: Sugar sweetens your pie filling for a beloved, familiar taste. Lemon juice brightens the filling and brings out the blueberry flavor. Regular dairy milk is perfect for brushing on top of the pie crust before sprinkling with a bit of sugar to make it a little extra crispy and golden brown.

How to Make Easiest Ever Blueberry Pie

A delicious, homemade pie is just a few steps away!

1. Soften the Crust

Remove the outer package of your crust and bring to room temperature on the counter.

2. Prepare the Filling

In a large bowl, mix blueberries, 3/4 cup of sugar, tapioca, and lemon juice until evenly distributed. Spoon into a crust-lined pan.

3. Cover the Filling

Place the second crust over the blueberry filling. Fold any excess top crust under the edge of the bottom crust, pressing edges together to seal and create a thick rim.

4. Prepare for Baking

Cut slits into the top crust in several places to allow air and steam to escape from the pie. This prevents unwanted puffing and air bubbles, creating an even crust. Brush top crust with milk to brown the crust, add shine, and help the sugar adhere to the crust. Then, sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar.

5. Bake

Put your oven racks in the middle and lower positions. Place a large piece of heavy-duty foil on the lower oven rack to catch any juices and put the pie on the middle rack. Bake for 30 minutes at 400°F, then cover the crust edge with foil to prevent excessive browning. Continue baking for an additional 20 to 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Cool for at least 2 hours before serving.

How to Store (and Reheat) Easiest Ever Blueberry Pie

Store your leftovers properly to enjoy your creation for days to come!

Room Temperature

Cover with plastic wrap or foil; it will keep for up to 2 days.

Refrigerator

If your pie has been stored at room temperature for a couple of days, store it covered in the fridge for up to 2 more days to keep it fresh.

Reheating

You can eat your leftovers without heating, or we recommend the following methods for reheating.

• Microwave: Heat a slice in the microwave on a microwave-safe plate for 5 to 10 seconds on high (100%) or until warm.
• Toaster Oven: Cover crust with aluminum foil to prevent burning, and put on a small pan to reheat at 350°F for 5 to 7 minutes. This method will cause dripping, so we recommend putting an aluminum foil base in your toaster oven (cover crust with tin foil).
