    It's blueberry season, and you know what that means: finding a great blueberry pie recipe. Whether you're looking for fruit pies recipes using fresh berries, a sugar-free blueberry pie recipe, or a blueberry pie recipe with frozen blueberries, I've got you covered.

    You'll find 2023's 16 best recipes for blueberry pies down below. But first, read through these tips on how to make a classic blueberry pie and add your own twist for unique frozen blueberry pie recipes.

    Are Fresh Blueberries or Frozen Blueberries Best for Pies?

    If you have looked in your weekly ad circular or been in a grocery store lately, you know it is officially blueberry season. We forage for wild berries on the land surrounding our home, including blueberries, cranberries, and wild raspberries.

    However, even if you can't go berry picking wherever you live, you can get fresh berries at the market. Blueberries are a reasonable price right now and a healthy addition to everything from muffins to pies.

    Frozen blueberries are also an option. Using frozen blueberries in pie recipes usually means adding a thickener to the filling.

    My favorite way to use blueberries is by whipping up a delicious homemade blueberry pie at home. (This is also my kids' favorite way for me to use blueberries. I try most recipes with fresh or frozen blueberries, depending on what's available. Recently I even experimented with making a vintage-style blueberry bread recipe.

    However, I have found that I sometimes have to fiddle with homemade blueberry pie filling recipes because they can seem too runny. So I might add a thickener.

    Best Thickening Agents for Blueberry Pie Recipes

    Traditional blueberry filling recipes often require as much as one cup of cornstarch. However, I'm not a huge cornstarch fan. I don't like the flavor it adds to the blueberry pie filling.

    Pie Crust Recipe Tips for Classic Blueberry Pie

    What's a good blueberry pie recipe without a fantastic homemade pie crust recipe? The best pie recipes call for a homemade top crust and bottom crust.

    For a really classic blueberry pie, make a lattice top with wide strips. Or, instead of a lattice crust, make a graham cracker crust for a creamy blueberry pie or a custard-style berry pie recipe.

    Try using a crumb topping for the top of the pie as an alternative to the top pastry.

    Either a streusel mixture (similar to the topping for dutch apple pie) or even oatmeal for blueberry crumble pie. And for a golden brown pie pastry, use an egg wash before baking.

    Having trouble with your blueberry mixture bubbling over the edge of the pie pan? Put the pie pan on a cookie sheet. You might want to try a pie shield if your pastry edges are burning.

    Remember, your butter, shortening, or lard should not be melting at room temperature for a flaky crust. Otherwise, you could end up with some pretty tough pie dough. I keep mine in the fridge, so it stays cool.

    And if you're short on time, buy a store-bought pie shell.

    Flavor Additions to Blueberry Filling

    To boost your best blueberry pie filling recipe, experiment with a few different flavors. In the past, I've tried

    • lemon juice
    • lemon zest
    • orange juice
    • one teaspoon cinnamon
    • one teaspoon nutmeg

    I've even added a tablespoon of peach schnapps to get that peach and blueberry flavor in my pie filling.

    Sugar Free Blueberry Pie Recipes

    I often find many recipes for pies just too sweet. And honestly, many recipes that call for "one cup sugar " are just fine with ½ a cup. And recently I've been making sugar-free pie recipes that are sweetened with honey. Sometimes I use maple syrup or a small amount of brown sugar instead.

    I bake my pies in pans on a baking sheet in the oven to keep messes easy to clean up. I usually use a 9-inch pie plate. then cool the pie in the pie dish on a wire rack.

    Here's a list of 16 recipe posts, so you should find your new favorite Blueberry Pie Recipe in no time.
