The Summer I Turned Pretty Blueberry Pies

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 package (2) pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir until the berries are coated.
  3. Roll out one pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish.
  4. Pour the blueberry mixture into the pie crust and dot the filling with small pieces of butter.
  5. Roll out the second pie crust and cover the pie. Crimp the edges to seal, and cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  7. Let the pie cool before serving to allow the filling to set.
  8. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
