Homemade Blueberry Pie (video)
This is a tender flaky pie crust filled with juicy blueberry goodness – just like grandma used to make. This homemade blueberry pie recipe is easy peasy, nothing fancy, just downright good!
I’ve been craving blueberry pie since I watched an episode of Master Chef where one of the contestants, Terry Mueller, a big burly guy made an amazing blueberry pie. It even caught the attention of my 6 year old who asked if I could make him a blueberry pie.
This recipe begins with my go-to flaky pie crust. It’s made with only 4 ingredients and there is no chiling required. It literally comes together in minutes and it’s the flakiest pie crust ever. I kept the filling very simple. There is some sugar for sweetness. I used flour as the thickening agent because I already had it out for the crust. There is a little bit of cinnamon and nutmeg for flavor, and a whole lot of blueberries, of course.
This homemade blueberry pie is packed with wholesome sweet blueberries all wrapped up in a delicate flaky crust. Each bite is bursting with natural fruit flavors and a crumbly buttery pastry.
So, take advantage while fresh blueberries are in season and on sale, and make this pie, pronto!

- Yield: 8-10
Description
This homemade blueberry pie recipe is easy peasy, nothing fancy, just downright good!
Ingredients
Crust
- 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp (5g) salt
- ¾ cup (188ml) vegetable oil
- ⅓ cup (83ml) milk plus 1–2 tbsp extra if needed (any kind, dairy or non-dairy works)
Filling
- 3/4 cup (150g) sugar
- 1/2 cup (62g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp (1.25ml) ground nutmeg
- 5 cups (700g) fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F and position rack to lower third of oven.
- In a large bowl, sift the flour twice. Then whisk in the salt and create a little well.
- Pour in the oil, then milk and stir everything together. If the dough seems too dry, add 1-2 tbsp of milk.
- Once the dough starts to form, finish working it by gently kneading it on a sheet of wax paper.
- Divide into two parts. Roll the dough out in between 2 sheets of wax paper.
- Fit one of the pastry crust onto a 9″ round pie plate. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, toss together the sugar, flour and spices. Sprinkle 1/3 cup of the mixer onto the bottom pie crust. Spoon in the blueberries. Evenly sprinkle the rest of the mixture over the blueberries,
- Place the top crust over the filling. Trim and press the edges together. Cut a few slits for ventilation.
- Bake at 425F for 15 minutes, then reduce the temp to 375F and bake for another 30 minutes or until the crust is golden and filling is bubbling. If the crust turns golden before the filling is done, loosely cover with foil to prevent from over browning. I covered my pie during the last 15 minutes.
Notes
Serve warm and/or with some vanilla ice cream.
Leftovers can be stored covered up in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Great recipe! I added 2/3 cups of almond milk to the dough and it was so soft and easy to work with! Definitely suggest trying it.

Thank you for your feedback and great suggestion, Pheb!
I baked this pie for my friends the other day and they loved it so much they could not stop asking for more until there was none left. I am planning on baking it again for them soon!

I just made this pie today as I have a ton of freshly picked blueberries to put to good use. This was my first ever home made blueberry pie and I cannot be more happy with the outcome of your recipe! This will now be my go to crust for any pie. It was so quick and easy to make, and the taste and texture were perfect. The blueberry filling was absolutely delicious! Such a gorgeous pie!
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe…I will be making this pie over and over again. Can’t wait for tomorrow morning when I can have another slice for breakfast.
You’re very welcome Shirley and thank you very much for your wonderful feedback:) Enjoy the rest of the blueberry pie and have a lovely day!
Oh me. Oh my. I want this Blueberry Pie! It looks amazing and I happen to have blueberries in my freezer so … Yay! 😉
I’ve been searching for the simplest blueberry pie recipe to make for Christmas. My Mother passed away in June and I have two big frozen packages of blueberries that one of her friends picked for her out of his wife’s garden. This will be a great way for Mom to be with us during the holidays and spread her love as well. I’m looking forward to the baking process. Thank you.

You’re welcome LaTesha and I think that is a great way to remember your mother. Thank you for your comment and have a lovely day.
do u cover the whole crust with foil the last 15 minutes or just the edges
Hi Dawn,
I loosely covered the whole top crust with foil during the last 15 minutes. Thank you for your question and enjoy the pie:)
thank you so much for all these awesome recipes
love all your bakery style muffins recipes as well
happy thanksgiving to you and your family
This is THE BEST BLUEBERRY PIE EVER!! Absolutely OUTSTANDING!! My husband, son, and I were RAVING about it with each delicious bite. And the crust is FANTASTIC!! Light, flakey, and so tasty. It’s the perfect compliment to the berries. We’re not big lovers of buttery crusts, so this is great for us. Dough rolled out beautifully. So excited to have made your wonderful recipe which was a BIG HIT. I followed the recipe exactly. I really think that sifting the flour twice made a difference in the lightness of the crust . Better than whisking. This will be my go to blueberry pie from now on. Thank you so much. Love the video!!

YOu’re welcome Memoria and have an awesome day!
Wow Lily, this is such a beautiful pie. Your crust is gorgeous and those blueberries make such a gorgeous filling!
Thanks Julie, I always love your visits:)
I haven’t had blueberry pie since I was little. Our local bakery made lovely ones and it looked just like yours! A lovely pie, perfect for sharing 🙂 Happy FF!
Thanks for stopping by Petra:)
Can you use frozen blueberries?
Lily, what a delicious-looking blueberry pie! Love the easy, no-drama recipes! Thanks for sharing at FF!!
Love blueberries and love them in pies. Your crust is different; I like the oil and milk versus solid shortening which I use.
