Time 2h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

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.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 7h50m

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast (not rapid-rise)
1 tablespoon sugar
1/3 cup whole milk, heated until warm to the touch (about 110 degrees)
1 large egg, room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for bowl
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 1/2 pounds Granny Smith apples (about 8), peeled, cored, and cut into 3/4-inch wedges
1/2 cup sugar
5 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups frozen wild Maine blueberries (9 ounces), such as Wyman's, thawed and drained
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Dough:In a bowl, sprinkle yeast and sugar over milk. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Whisk in egg and butter until smooth. Stir in flour and salt. Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface; knead until smooth and tacky but no longer sticky, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl brushed with butter, turning to coat. Cover with a clean kitchen towel; let rise until doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours; or refrigerate until doubled in volume, 18 to 48 hours.
  • Topping:Combine butter, sugar, flour, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl; massage together with your fingers until combined. Press into bottom of bowl; cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 3 days.
  • Filling: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toss apples with sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, and cinnamon. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until almost tender, about 30 minutes. Stir in blueberries, salt, lemon juice, and remaining 3 tablespoons flour; roastuntil apples are tender, about 10 minutes more. Let cool 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, punch down dough. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out to a 13-inch round. Transfer to a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie dish. Fold overhang under itself until flush with edge of plate (do not crimp edges). Loosely cover with towel; let stand until puffy and doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
  • Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees. Transfer filling to center of dough, gently spreading to sides of dish without compressing dough. Crumble topping into bite-size pieces and sprinkle evenly over filling.
  • Bake just until dough begins to brown, about 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees; bake until filling bubbles around edges and crust and topping turn golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes more. (If crust or topping are browning too quickly, tent with foil.) Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely, at least 4 hours or, loosely covered, up to 1 day. Slice and serve with ice cream.

Yield Makes 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 15

For the pâte brisée:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
2 tablespoons cold vegetable shortening
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons ice water plus additional if necessary
For the wild blueberry pie:
6 cups wild blueberries, picked over
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 cup sugar plus additional for sprinkling the pie
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into bits
2 tablespoons half-and-half or milk

Steps:

  • To make the pie:
  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Roll out half the dough 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured surface, fit it into a 9-inch (1 quart) pie plate, and trim the edge, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Chill the shell while making the filling. In a large bowl toss together well the blueberries, the cornstarch, 1 cup of the sugar, the lemon juice, the nutmeg, and the salt, mound the filling in the shell, and dot it with the butter.
  • Roll out the remaining dough into a 13 to 14-inch round on the lightly floured surface, cut out a 1 1/2-inch star from the middle of the round, and drape the round over the filling. Trim the dough, leaving a 1-inch overhang, fold the overhang under the bottom crust, pressing the edge to seal it, and crimp the edge decoratively. Brush the crust with the half-and-half or milk, cut slits in the top crust around the crust, and sprinkle the pie lightly with the additional sugar. Bake the pie in the bottom third of the oven for 20 minutes, reduce the temperature to 375°F., and bake the pie for 30 to 35 minutes more, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling. Transfer the pie to a rack and let it cool.
  • To make the pâte brisée:
  • In a large bowl blend the flour, the butter, the vegetable shortening, and the salt until the mixture resembles meal. Add the 2 tablespoons ice water, toss the mixture until the water is incorporated, adding the additional ice water if necessary to form a dough, and form the dough into a ball. Dust the dough with flour and chill it, wrapped in wax paper, for 1 hour.

Continue baking 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely. Finally, spread the softened Neufchatel cheese over the pie crust. Mix the remaining 2 cups of blueberries with the cooked berries and pour the filling into the crust. Serve chilled with whipped cream.
