Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Whipped cream for serving
Instructions
- Remove the pre-made pie crust from its packaging and allow it to come to room temperature for about 10 minutes to prevent cracking.
- In a large mixing bowl, gently wash the fresh blueberries under cool running water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Whisk these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and no lumps remain.
- Add the fresh blueberries to the sugar mixture and carefully fold them together, ensuring each berry is evenly coated without breaking the delicate fruits.
- Transfer the blueberry mixture into the pre-made pie crust, spreading it evenly and gently pressing to create a smooth surface.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set and flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, remove the pie from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Slice the pie into 8 equal wedges and serve chilled, topped with a dollop of whipped cream.
- Store any remaining pie in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Choose the freshest blueberries possible for the most intense flavor and best texture.
- Make sure to pat the blueberries completely dry after washing to prevent excess moisture in your pie.
- Whisk the sugar mixture thoroughly to ensure cornstarch is fully dissolved and prevents a grainy texture.
- When folding blueberries, use a gentle hand to avoid crushing the delicate fruits.
- Chilling is crucial - allow at least 2 hours of refrigeration for the perfect set and flavor melding.
- For a more decorative presentation, consider arranging some fresh blueberries on top before serving.
- Use a pre-made pie crust for ultimate convenience, or make your own if you're feeling ambitious.
