MYSTERY INGREDIENT WILD BLUEBERRY PIE

Mystery Ingredient Wild Blueberry Pie image

I came up with this tasty twist on a classic blueberry pie recipe when I was searching the spice cupboard for nutmeg. My family loved it so much that I made two more pies the next day! Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 recipe pastry for a double-crust 9-inch pie, divided
5 cups fresh blueberries (preferably wild)
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, or more to taste
¼ teaspoon almond extract
¼ cup butter, cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon milk

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.
