Canadian Blueberry Custard Pie Recipes

CANADIAN BLUEBERRY CUSTARD PIE

Steps:

• You will need sufficient pastry for a deep 1-crust 9 inch pie (1 L).
• Line a pie shell with the pastry. Preheat oven to 425°F.
• TO MAKE THE FILLING: Measure the blueberries into a medium bowl. Combine the sugar, flour, salt and lemon rind, toss with the berries and pour into the pie shell. Sprinkle on the lemon juice. Arrange the berries evenly.
• Line the edges of the pastry with strips of aluminum foil to keep them from browning too fast. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F and bake for another 15 minutes.
• While the pie is baking, prepare the custard by beating the yolks and sugar together, then mixing in the cream. Spoon the custard gently over the berries in the baked pie. Grate a light film of nutmeg over the top.
• Continue baking at 350°F for 20 to 35 minutes. The custard is ready when the tip of a knife inserted into it comes out clean. Cool and serve freshly made. Yields 6 servings.

PEACH AND BLUEBERRY CRUMB PIE

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch ceramic or glass pie dish.
• For the filling: Finely grind the tapioca in a food processor or spice grinder, about 1 minute. Combine the blueberries, peaches, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, lemon zest and tapioca in a medium bowl.
• Unroll the pie crust and place in the pie dish. Brush the inside with the egg white.
• For the topping: Pulse the almonds, butter, oats, flour and sugar until small chunks form in a food processor.
• Pour the filling into the crust. Crumble the topping over the filling and bake until the top is golden brown, about 55 minutes. If after 30 minutes of baking the edges of the crust begin to brown too quickly, cover the edges of the pie dish with strips of foil. Cool the pie for 30 to 40 minutes before slicing.

BLUEBERRY CRUMB PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Press the pie crust into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch pie plate. In a large bowl, stir together the sugar and flour. Mix in the lemon zest and lemon juice. Gently stir in the blueberries. Pour into the pie crust.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the brown sugar, oats, flour and cinnamon. Mix in butter using a fork until crumbly. Spread the crumb topping evenly over the pie filling.
• Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until browned on top. Cool over a wire rack.

MIRACULOUS CANADIAN SUGAR PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish.
• Place the brown sugar and butter in a mixing bowl, and beat them together with an electric mixer until creamy and very well combined, without lumps. Beat in eggs, one at a time, incorporating the first egg before adding the next one. Add the vanilla extract and salt; beat the flour in, a little at a time, and then the milk, making a creamy batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes; remove pie, and cover the rim with aluminum foil to prevent burning. Return to oven, and bake until the middle sets and the top forms a crusty layer, about 15 more minutes. Let the pie cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Press 1 pie crust pastry into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan.

Dot the blueberry mixture with butter pieces. Top with second pie crust, crimping the two crusts together. Brush top crust with milk. Make a few incisions with a knife into the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking. Wrap the edges of the pie with aluminum foil to avoid burning.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and continue baking until blueberry filling is bubbling and crust is browned, 20 to 25 more minutes. Cool before serving.
