Wild Blueberry Pie with a Twist
Ingredients
  • 1 (14.1 ounce) package double-crust pie pastry, thawed
  • 5 cups fresh blueberries (preferably wild)
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/4 cup butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently 190 degrees Celsius.
2
Place a single pie crust into the bottom and sides of a standard 9-inch pie dish; set it aside for now.
3
Start by combining blueberries, sugar, flour, and a pinch of cinnamon in a large mixing container. Add a few drops of almond extract; mix until the ingredients are well-coated.
4
Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared pie crust, making sure to fill it evenly.
5
Dot the top of the blueberry mixture with small pieces of butter, adding a touch of richness to the filling.
6
Cover the blueberry mixture with a second pie crust, crimping the edges together to create a secure seal.
7
Brush the top crust with milk, adding moisture and helping the crust to brown evenly during baking.
8
Use a sharp knife to cut small slits into the top crust, allowing steam to escape while the pie bakes.
9
Cover the edges of the pie with aluminum foil, preventing them from burning during the baking process.
10
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until it reaches the desired level of doneness.
11
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
12
Allow the pie to cool before serving, ensuring that it remains at its best flavor and texture.
