I have a thing for baking pies. I don’t know what it is. If I have you over for dinner, I most likely will bake you a pie. Or if you invite me over for dinner, I will probably offer to bring pie for dessert. Notice how I didn’t even mention what I was making you for dinner?? The emphasis is just on the pie. Let’s get through dinner so we can enjoy pie.
The problem is that now that I have that reputation for baking pies and when I’m short on time it’s not always the easiest thing to whip up.
Blueberry pie has got to be one of the easiest pies to make as the filling is super easy. No slicing fruit or stirring a heavy cream pie base. This is just fruit and some simple ingredients.
You can use a pre-made pastry or try your hand at my own pastry recipe (it’s easy, I promise!).
Here is the best blueberry pie recipe!

OR

Cut remaining pastry into 1/2-3/4 inch strips and make lattice top

Oh my this looks delicious, Jamie. And I just checked out your pie crust recipe – it’s identical to one I’ve been using for years. And it is so easy as you noted. It’s practically goof-proof. I think a blueberry pie is on the menu for the weekend. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Isn’t it the best pastry recipe?? I’m so glad you like it too. Must be an old trusted recipe 😉 Thanks so much, Jeannie!
