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.

MY GRANDMOTHER'S BEST BERRY PIE

Steps:

• To Make Crust: Blend the flour and the butter or margarine thoroughly. Add baking powder, vanilla, sugar, and egg; mix thoroughly. Let the dough rest for about 25 minutes.
• Lay enough dough to cover the pie dish in the center of the pan, and spread the dough evenly over the bottom and sides of the pan. There will be dough left over for the top of the pie. Take a fork, and make holes with it here and there along the bottom of the pie dough. Let the pie dough rest again for another 25 minutes.
• Put the berries inside the pie dish, and then spread the remaining crumb dough over it.
• Bake at 400 degrees F ( 205 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes.

GRANDMA'S BLUEBERRY CREAM PIE

• Transfer filling into the pie crust and freeze until set, about 2 hours.
• Thaw for 1 1/2 hours before topping with blueberry filling and serving.

GRANDMA'S FRESH BLUEBERRY PEACH PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Peel and slice the peaches. Place in a large bowl. Add blueberries. Sprinkle with sugar and flour. Mix well and set aside.
• Prepare the pie crust:.
• Sift the flour into a large bowl. Add butter and mix with a fork or pastry blender until the mixture resembles small peas. Make a well in the center and add the ice water. Mix together being careful not to over work the dough so that it does not become tough. Shape into a ball and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured board, roll out one half into a 15″ circle. Carefully fold in half and place into a 9″ or 10″ pie plate. Press evenly onto bottom and sides of pie plate.
• Evenly spoon the fruit mixture into the pie plate.
• Roll out second half of dough and place on top of fruit. Pinch and crimp edges together. Make slits in top of dough.
• In a small bowl, beat egg and brush over the top of the pie.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes. Lower temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

GRANDMA DONNIE'S BLUEBERRY COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a 9x9-inch cake pan.
• Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• Cream sugar, butter, and vanilla together in another bowl. Add egg and beat well.
• Using a wooden spoon, stir in dry ingredients in 3 additions alternately with the milk (ending with dry) just until flour is incorporated. Do not overbeat. Fold in blueberries. Turn into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly with a spatula. Frozen blueberries make dough very stiff, so pressing with moistened fingertips works better for me. Combine 1 tablespoon sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; sprinkle on top of batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
