FROZEN BLUEBERRY PIE

Categories     dessert

Time 12h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

20 ounces blueberries, approximately 4 cups
4 ounces sugar, approximately 1/2 cup
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/4 ounces tapioca flour, approximately 5 tablespoons
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon orange zest
2 (9-inch) store-bought pie doughs
1 egg yolk whisked with 1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • Wash the berries and pat dry. Mash up half of the blueberries in a small bowl.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, salt and tapioca flour. Add the mashed blueberries, orange juice and orange zest and stir to combine. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes. Fold in the whole berries.
  • Line a 9-inch pie plate with aluminum foil. Place the blueberry mixture into the foil and place in the freezer until solid, approximately 6 to 8 hours.
  • Once the filling is frozen, remove from the aluminum foil and wrap in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Unroll first piece of dough and place into a 9-inch pie pan, making sure the dough reaches to the lip of the pie pan. Trim excess, if necessary. Prick the bottom and sides with a fork and set aside. Unroll second piece of dough and cut into 1 1/8-inch wide strips that are at least 10-inches long. Using a ruler that is 1 1/8-inches wide, lay the ruler on the dough at 1 edge and roll across dough using the edge of the ruler as you go to cut through the dough.
  • Remove the frozen pie filling from the freezer and place into the prepared dough in the pan. Lightly brush the edge of the crust with the egg yolk. Lay 4 strips of dough across the top of the filling horizontally, leaving an even amount of space in between each strip. Fold back 2 alternating strips and lay down another strip in the middle of the pie, perpendicular to the other strips. Return the strips that are laid back to their original position. Next, fold back the other 2 strips and lay down a strip to the left of the center perpendicular strip. Return the strips that are laid back to their original position and repeat on the other side of the perpendicular strip, folding back the same 2 strips as you did on the other side. Once you have a lattice, brush all the strips of dough with the egg yolk, trim excess dough and pinch strips and edge of crust in order to seal. Place on the bottom rack of the oven and bake for about 1 hour 15 minutes. The pie should be bubbling lightly around the edges. If the lattice is not browned enough in the center, place under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Place the pie on a rack and allow to cool to room temperature before serving, approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

BLUEBERRY PIE WITH FROZEN BERRIES

Great pie made from frozen blueberries.

Provided by Cindy Nelson

Categories     Desserts     Pies     Fruit Pie Recipes     Blueberry Pie Recipes

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 cups frozen blueberries
1 cup white sugar
5 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon salt
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup salted butter
½ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold water, or more as needed
1 tablespoon salted butter, cut into small pieces
1 teaspoon salted butter, or as needed
¼ cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Put frozen blueberries in a pot along with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt. Mix gently so that the blueberries will get covered with cornstarch; the cornstarch will help to thicken the pie filling. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally so it will not burn to the bottom, about 15 minutes.
  • While the pie filling is cooking, combine flour, 3/4 cup butter, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix with a fork until crumbles form. Slowly add cold water and mix until incorporated, adding more water as needed.
  • Divide dough into 2 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Roll out 1 dough ball with a rolling pin into a 10-inch circle. Transfer pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edge of the pie crust with scissors and crimp the rim with your fingertips and knuckles.
  • Remove pie filling from heat and pour into the pie crust. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon butter pieces on top of the filling; the butter will melt and make a thin surface over the filling that will help you weave the strips of crust for the lattice on top.
  • Roll the top crust into a 10-inch circle. Cut into 1/2-inch strips with a sharp paring knife or pastry wheel. Start with the longest strips and lay the first 2 in an X in the center of the pie. Alternate horizontal and vertical strips, weaving them in an over-and-under pattern. Use the shortest strips for the edges of the lattice. Fold the ends of the lattice strips under the edge of the bottom crust and flute the crust.
  • Melt 1 teaspoon butter in milk by microwaving in a microwave-safe cup in 10-second intervals. Brush over the top of the pie to get a nice golden brown crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and bubbly, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use frozen blueberries that have been picked and frozen at their peak ripeness. Avoid using blueberries that have been stored in the freezer for more than a year.
  • Thaw the frozen blueberries before using them in the pie filling. This will help to prevent the filling from becoming too runny.
  • If you don't have any cornstarch, you can use flour as a thickener instead. However, keep in mind that flour can make the pie filling cloudier.
  • If you want a sweeter pie filling, you can add more sugar to taste. You can also add a pinch of salt to balance out the sweetness.
  • Be careful not to overcook the pie filling. Overcooked blueberries will become tough and lose their flavor.
