Fresh from the Patch: Blueberry Pie

Last week we went blueberry picking, which is one of my favorite summer activities. I love that you get to be outside, eat unlimited blueberries (for testing purposes, of course) and come home with a huge bucket of fresh blueberries. My mom and I both picked 6 pounds of blueberries, which is way more than I can eat by myself. So I portioned them into small ziploc bags and froze most of them, but I left enough out to make two blueberry pies. 

My favorite easy blueberry pie recipe is below. Sometimes I substitute flour for cornstarch. It’s a difficult recipe to mess up, so you can experiment to fit your tastes! Sometimes I include peaches with the blueberries or top it with whipped cream. It’s the perfect summer dessert! 

EASY BLUEBERRY PIE

I love this blueberry pie and have been making it for years. It is so fast and easy and doesn't require a lot of ingredients. Plus, you can use a simple graham cracker crust, which is my favorite kind!
