Wild Blueberry Pie Recipes

MYSTERY INGREDIENT WILD BLUEBERRY PIE

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.
• Stir blueberries, sugar, flour, and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Add almond extract; stir to coat. Pour blueberry mixture into the prepared pie crust. 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.

WILD-BLUEBERRY-AND-APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Dough:In a bowl, sprinkle yeast and sugar over milk. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Whisk in egg and butter until smooth. Stir in flour and salt. Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface; knead until smooth and tacky but no longer sticky, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl brushed with butter, turning to coat. Cover with a clean kitchen towel; let rise until doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours; or refrigerate until doubled in volume, 18 to 48 hours.
• Topping:Combine butter, sugar, flour, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl; massage together with your fingers until combined. Press into bottom of bowl; cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 3 days.
• Filling: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toss apples with sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, and cinnamon. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until almost tender, about 30 minutes. Stir in blueberries, salt, lemon juice, and remaining 3 tablespoons flour; roastuntil apples are tender, about 10 minutes more. Let cool 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, punch down dough. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out to a 13-inch round. Transfer to a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie dish. Fold overhang under itself until flush with edge of plate (do not crimp edges). Loosely cover with towel; let stand until puffy and doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
• Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees. Transfer filling to center of dough, gently spreading to sides of dish without compressing dough. Crumble topping into bite-size pieces and sprinkle evenly over filling.
• Bake just until dough begins to brown, about 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees; bake until filling bubbles around edges and crust and topping turn golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes more. (If crust or topping are browning too quickly, tent with foil.) Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely, at least 4 hours or, loosely covered, up to 1 day. Slice and serve with ice cream.

WILD BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• To make the pie:
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Roll out half the dough 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured surface, fit it into a 9-inch (1 quart) pie plate, and trim the edge, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Chill the shell while making the filling. In a large bowl toss together well the blueberries, the cornstarch, 1 cup of the sugar, the lemon juice, the nutmeg, and the salt, mound the filling in the shell, and dot it with the butter.
• Roll out the remaining dough into a 13 to 14-inch round on the lightly floured surface, cut out a 1 1/2-inch star from the middle of the round, and drape the round over the filling. Trim the dough, leaving a 1-inch overhang, fold the overhang under the bottom crust, pressing the edge to seal it, and crimp the edge decoratively. Brush the crust with the half-and-half or milk, cut slits in the top crust around the crust, and sprinkle the pie lightly with the additional sugar. Bake the pie in the bottom third of the oven for 20 minutes, reduce the temperature to 375°F., and bake the pie for 30 to 35 minutes more, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling. Transfer the pie to a rack and let it cool.
• To make the pâte brisée:
• In a large bowl blend the flour, the butter, the vegetable shortening, and the salt until the mixture resembles meal. Add the 2 tablespoons ice water, toss the mixture until the water is incorporated, adding the additional ice water if necessary to form a dough, and form the dough into a ball. Dust the dough with flour and chill it, wrapped in wax paper, for 1 hour.

DEEP-DISH WILD BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Put a large baking sheet on oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425°F.
• Whisk together brown sugar and tapioca and toss with blueberries and lemon juice in a large bowl.
• Roll out larger piece of dough (keep remaining piece chilled) on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 13-inch round. Fit into pie plate. Trim excess dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Chill shell while rolling out dough for top crust.
• Roll out remaining dough on a lightly floured surface with lightly floured rolling pin into an 11-inch round. Cut out 5 or 6 small holes with small decorative cookie cutters or use a small knife to slash steam vents toward center.
• Spoon filling with any accumulated juices into shell, dot with butter, and cover with top crust. Trim top crust with kitchen shears, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold overhang of top crust under bottom pastry and press against rim of pie plate to reinforce edge, then crimp decoratively and brush with egg wash.
• Bake pie on hot baking sheet in oven 30 minutes, then cover edge with a pie shield or foil to prevent overbrowning. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F and continue to bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbling, 45 to 50 minutes more.
• Cool pie completely on a rack, about 4 hours (filling will be runny if pie is still warm).

BLUEBERRY PIE WITH FROZEN BERRIES

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.

WILD HUCKLEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Mix the above ingredients together with a spoon so that everything is well distributed;
• pour into the bottom pie shell as it sets in the pie plate.
• Dot the top of the mixture with 2 or 3 dabs of butter.
• Top off with the second pie shell.
• Once it is correctly positioned you should have a 1" overlap on the top crust so that it can be crimped with the bottom crust.
• Crimp or pinch the two crusts together and make a decorative edge to seal the two piecrusts.
• The pie can be refrigerated until you are ready to bake or baked immediately.
• To bake, preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
• Place the pie on the middle shelf of your oven and bake for 15 minutes then turn the temperature down to 350 degrees and continue baking for 30-40 minutes or until the filling starts to bubble over.
• Once the pie looks done and the crust is a light golden brown, it should be done.
• Take it out and let the pie cool on a cooling rack until it is ready to serve.
