Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
Fruit and Flavorings
- 2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
- Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
Topping
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar (for topping, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or spray it with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly, then add the vanilla extract and the melted butter. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter tender.
- Fold in Blueberries and Lemon Zest: Carefully fold the fresh blueberries and lemon zest into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout.
- Fill Pie Dish and Add Topping: Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the top with turbinado sugar if you’d like a crisp, sweet finish.
- Bake the Pie: Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes. The pie is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm, ideally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
Notes
- This pie is best served warm and pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Feel free to swap blueberries with other berries or even a mixed berry blend to vary the flavor.
- Store any leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
