There are a few keys to a perfect blueberry pie — and it’s as much about the methods you use as it is finding the sweetest fruit to put inside.
A tender, flaky crust encasing a filling made of plump blueberries and just enough sugar to bring it firmly into dessert territory is just begging to go a la mode. But in the pie world, there’s a fine line between a perfectly juicy filling and a runny mess — and the journey to a just-right blueberry pie starts at the stovetop. Pre-cooking the filling adds a bit of time to the baking process, but helps ensure a perfect, sliceable consistency even with the juiciest summer berries.
The second secret to nailing that “just-right” pie texture comes from a good, long time in the oven. In order for it to be evenly and fully baked from top to bottom, the pie starts at a high temperature, which helps the crust’s structure set. After this initial bake, the oven temperature is reduced for the remainder of bake time.
