Creamy Blueberry Pie |
|
Serves: 8
Makes one 9-inch pie
The key to this pie is finding the freshest blueberries possible. It's so good I've baked it for ninth-generation residents of Maine, and even they agreed it was superb. The crust is so easy you'll want to use it for all your fruit pies!
CRUST:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup canola oil
3 1/2 tablespoons milk
FILLING:
4 cups fresh blueberries
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup ground cinnamon
Pinch salt
1/3 cup heavy cream
WHIPPED CREAM:
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar sifted, or to taste

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
TO PREPARE THE CRUST: In a 9-inch pie pan, combine all the ingredients and stir with a fork until blended. Using your fingers, press the dough into the pan and all the way up the sides, making a smooth rim with your fingers. Use the fork to prick the bottom of the crust to prevent bubbling.
TO PREPARE THE FILLING: Rinse the berries in a colander and remove any soft ones. Spread them out on a towel to dry slightly, then pour them into the pastry shell.
In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Add the milk and cream and whisk until smooth. Pour the mixture over the berries.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until set. After 25 to 35 minutes, check to see if you need to cover the edges with aluminum foil to prevent them from getting too dark.
Let cool on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until well chilled.
TO PREPARE THE WHIPPED CREAM: In a deep bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Gradually stir in the confectioners' sugar. Serve in a bowl on the side so your guests can help themselves.
