Blueberry pie recipes describe the ingredients and preparation method to make blueberry pie. Classic blueberry pie recipes use fresh or frozen blueberries, and are usually made with a double crust. A lattice-style crust can be added for extra appeal. Alternately, instead of adding a second crust on top, a streusel crumb topping can be used.http://www.pillsbury.com/recipes/showrecipe.aspx?rid=40031
Blueberry pie is made by lining a pie pan with a pie crust, topping the bottom crust with the blueberry filling and topping with a second crust. The dessert is baked, cooled and served.http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/blueberry-pie/Detail.aspx
Blueberries are extremely healthy being that they are low in calories, full of antioxidants, and help to protect against macular degeneration.http://www.blueberrycouncil.com/nutrition.php
Background and History
Like other fruit-filled pies, blueberry pie can be traced back to the early settlers of the United States. The Pilgrims brought the basic idea of pie to the states, adapting the recipes from savory and meat versions to desserts with the addition of fruit. Blueberries and other fruits were readily available, allowing fruit pies to be created easily and often served at each meal.http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/PieHistory.htm
Throughout the years, blueberry pie and other fruit pies have become easier to make with the introduction of canned pie filling. Rather than having to create the filling from fresh fruit, using the pie filling can save considerable time and make the complete pie making process quicker and easier.http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/PieHistory.htm
Common Recipe Variations
In addition to variations in the crust, with a streusel crumb topping replacing a top crust in some recipes, the basic blueberry pie recipe can be prepared in several other ways. The filling can contain a selection of other fruits such as strawberries, raspberries or peaches, among others. The filling can also take a custard texture in some recipes.http://www.pillsbury.com/recipes/pie-recipes/blueberry-pie-recipes/blueberry-pie-variations/blueberry-pie-variations.htm
The flavorings of blueberry pie can be applied in other desserts and baked goods like turnovers, danishes and tarts. The same concept can be applied to create beverages, such as a blueberry pie smoothie, and in snacks, such as a blueberry pie parfait.http://www.pillsbury.com/recipes/pie-recipes/blueberry-pie-recipes/blueberry-pie-variations/blueberry-pie-variations.htm
Easy Blueberry Pie
This home chef shows an easy way to make blueberry pie. Starting with a pre-made pie crust, she crimps the edges of the crust to make a decorative appearance. The filling is created directly in the crust, eliminating the need to mix it in a separate bowl. Sugar and flour mixed in the crust first, then blueberries tossed in lemon juice are added on top. A crumb topping is prepared with sugar, flour and butter and sprinkled over the blueberries. The pie is baked, cooled and served for an easy dessert.
