Grandma Catherines Blueberry Pie Recipes

GRANDMA'S BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Roll out half the pastry and line a 9-inch pie pan; trim crust to the rim of the pan. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
• Combine sugar, tapioca, and cinnamon. Toss sugar mixture with blueberries in a mixing bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice. Let stand fifteen minutes. Meanwhile, roll out the top crust into a 10-inch circle. Cut into half-inch strips. Pour blueberry mixture into chilled pie shell and dot with butter. Add the pastry strips one at a time, weaving a lattice. Flute edges.
• Place pie on a baking sheet to catch drips. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, until filling is bubbly and crust is light brown. Cool completely before serving.

BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425. Prepare crust according to directions, or by scratch.
• Stir together sugar, flour, cinnamon, then mix berries in. Turn mixture into the pastry-lined pan. Sprinkle with lemon juice & dot with butter.
• Cover with top crust, and cut slits in the top. Seal & flute edges. Cover edge with a ring, or with 2-3 inch strip of foil to prevent excessive browning. Remove covering during the last 15 minutes of baking.
• Bake 35-45 minutes, depending on your oven. Crust should be golden brown, and juice should be starting to bubble through the slits.
• Let it cool a little, then enjoy with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Delish!
