1 pie
- Serves:
- 6-8
ingredients
- 2 pie crusts, unbaked (ready made or recommened Pie Crust 101)
- 118.29-78.78 ml sugar (depending on how sweet you like it)
- 29.58 ml all-purpose flour
- 14.79 ml grated lemon peel
- 2.46 ml mace (or cinnamon or nutmeg)
- 0.25 ml kosher salt
- 946.36 ml fresh blueberries
- 29.58 ml butter, cut up in small pieces
- 14.79 ml sugar
directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place one of the pie crusts in bottom of 10" cast-iron skillet, spreading it gently to cover the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
- In a large bowl or pan, blend sugar, flour, lemon peel, mace, and salt together in a bowl. Add blueberries and blend well to incorporate, mashing some of the blueberries. Add the blueberry mixture into the bottom crust, spreading evenly. Dot with butter.
- Place top crust over top of blueberries. Carefully lift away a portion of the bottom crust away from the pan and tuck top crust between pan and bottom crust. Repeat until you've gone all way around the pan to seal the crust. Cut 3-6 small slits to vent (We cut as many slices as we want from the pie, sort of like pre-slicing it that way). Bake approximately 30 minutes.
- Remove pie from oven and sprinkle the top with sugar and if neccesary, line the outside edge of the pie crust with aluminum foil to avoid burning the crust.
- Place back into oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until berry juice is bubbling from the slits and crust is golden brown. Remove from oven and let pie cool completely before serving.

Loved everything about this pie ~ The making of it, the rustic presentation of it, & the wonderful flavor! The whole thing reminded me of my granddad making a similar pie when we did an over-night ride (horseback) in rural Montana when I was a kid & we found enough June berries (where we camped) for him to make the berry pie! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe! A keeper! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

If I could give this more stars I would. I used 2Bleu's suggestion and used the Pie Crust 101 recipe and this couldn't have turned out better. And clean up was amazingly easy. I was so worried it would be a nightmare. But the pie came out so easily and left no stuck on pieces. There was very little blueberry juice to clean up, either. We had this for our family Sunday dinner and there was not a scrape left. Everyone's plates were just about lapped clean. You made me a star today. Thank you
