Cape Cod Blueberry Pie

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 45 min. + chilling Cook: 10 min. + chilling YIELD: 8 servings.
We Northeasterners have been baking this pie since the 18th century. Settlers would’ve used little wild blueberries and topped it with cream. I do, too. —Nancy O'Connell, Biddeford, Maine

Ingredients

  • Dough for single-crust pie
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup water, divided
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 6 cups fresh blueberries, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
  • Sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

Directions

  • 1. On a lightly floured surface, roll crust to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425°.
  • 2. Line crust with a double thickness of foil. Fill with pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice. Bake on a lower oven rack until edge is golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake until bottom is golden brown, 3-6 minutes longer. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  • 3. In a small bowl, mix flour, salt and 1/3 cup water until smooth. In a large saucepan, combine sugar, 1 cup blueberries and remaining water; bring to a boil. Stir in flour mixture. Return to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thickened, 4-6 minutes. Stir in vinegar and remaining blueberries; pour into crust.
  • 4. Refrigerate until filling is set, 4 hours. Serve with whipped cream.
