Cutaway Blueberry Pie
- 5 cups blueberries
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 T lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 T butter
- piecrust
DIRECTIONS
Make dessert early so your pie cools completely (at least two hours at room temp); that way, when you slice into it, the filling won’t run.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, toss 5 cups blueberries, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Pour filling into 9-inch pie plate lined with 1 store-bought or homemade piecrust, dot with 3 tablespoons butter, then add top crust; crimp and bake at 400°F on rimmed baking sheet for 1 hour, or until bubbling.
