Blueberry pie is a classic dessert that never goes out of style. With its flaky crust and juicy blueberry filling, it’s no wonder why this pie is a favorite among many. While there are many variations of blueberry pie, the oven-baked version is one of the most popular.

So, I will guide you through the process of making the perfect oven-baked blueberry pie from scratch. Whether you’re an experienced baker or a beginner, this recipe is easy to follow and will result in a delicious and impressive dessert that your family and friends will love. So, let’s get started!

2. Ingredients and Preparation for the Perfect Pie Crust

To make the perfect pie crust for your oven-baked blueberry pie, you’ll need a few key ingredients. First, you’ll need all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, and unsalted butter. You’ll also need ice water to bring the dough together.

To prepare the crust, start by mixing together the flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Cut the cold butter into small pieces and add them to the bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Next, add ice water to the mixture one tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork after each addition. Continue adding water until the dough starts to come together in a ball.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently until it forms a smooth ball. Flatten the ball into a disk and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out and using it to make your pie crust.

By following these simple steps, you’ll be able to create a delicious and flaky pie crust that will perfectly complement the sweet and juicy blueberry filling of your oven-baked blueberry pie.

3. Making the Blueberry Filling and Assembling the Pie

Now that you have your perfect pie crust ready, it’s time to move on to the filling. For the blueberry filling, you will need fresh or frozen blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt. Mix everything together until the blueberries are coated evenly with the mixture.

Next, pour the blueberry filling into the prepared pie crust. Make sure to spread it out evenly and smooth the top with a spatula.

Now it’s time to add the top crust. You can either use a full top crust or create a lattice pattern with strips of dough. If you’re using a full top crust, make sure to cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape during baking.

Once you’ve added the top crust, crimp the edges of the pie crust together to seal everything in. Brush the top crust with an egg wash for a shiny finish.

Finally, place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Once done, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely before serving.

With these simple steps, you can easily make a delicious oven-baked blueberry pie from scratch.

4. Baking and Serving Your Delicious Blueberry Pie

After assembling your blueberry pie, it’s time to bake it to perfection. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the pie on the middle rack. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Once the pie is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and make it easier to slice. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.

If you have any leftovers, store them in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, simply place a slice in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes.

Now that you know how to make the perfect oven-baked blueberry pie, impress your friends and family with your baking skills and enjoy this delicious dessert any time of year.
