1 9-inch pie


Ingredients

  • 1(14.1 ounce) packagedouble-crust pie pastry, thawed

  • 5cupsfresh blueberries (preferably wild)

  • ½cupwhite sugar

  • ¼cupall-purpose flour

  • ½teaspoonground cinnamon, or more to taste

  • ¼teaspoonalmond extract

  • ¼cupbutter, cut into small pieces

  • 1tablespoonmilk (Optional)


  • Directions

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Press 1 pie crust into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan; set aside.

    Stir together blueberries, sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add almond extract; stir to coat. Pour blueberry mixture into the prepared pie crust.

    Dot blueberry mixture with butter pieces. Top with second pie crust, crimping the edges together to seal. Brush top crust with milk. Use a knife to cut slits into the top crust for steam to escape while baking. Wrap the edges of the pie with aluminum foil to avoid burning.

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil; continue baking until filling is bubbling and crust is browned, 20 to 25 more minutes. Cool before serving.



    Cook’s Note

    You can use regular blueberries, but I find the wild ones are better. If you use frozen blueberries, add up to 2 tablespoons more all-purpose flour to ensure the pie thickens properly. You can also brush the top crust with 1 egg yolk instead of milk before baking.
