How to make Blueberry Apple Pie
- Step 1. Preheat the oven and refrigerate the pie crust. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and chill the pie crust while you prepare the filling.
Step 2. Combine the fruit and other ingredients in a large bowl. Make sure everything is thoroughly combined.
Step 3. Put one pie crust in the 9-inch pie dish. Add the fruit filling. Then lay out the other pie crust on a floured work surface. Cut into strips to make the lattice top. Then carefully thread the strips over and under to make a weave topping on top of the pie plate.
Step 4. Seal the edges of the crust with a fork or with your fingers. Top with the egg wash using a brush Cover the crust with foil or a pie crust shield.
Step 5. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake the pie at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove the foil or pie shield and reduce the oven temperature for the remaining 20 minutes. Allow to cool.
Frequently Asked Questions
The top crust should be golden brown. The filling will also bubble when it is fully cooked. You should be able to see between the lattice if it is bubbling.
When serving, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Cover the pie in plastic wrap. Refrigerate any leftover pie covered for up to 3-4 days.
Make sure the pie is completely cool before storing. It needs to set for at least 3 to 4 hours before cutting into slices. This will ensure the pie holds its shape.
This baked pie can be frozen up to 1 month. Allow it to cool completely and then cover in plastic wrap. Then cover again in foil.
You can also place the pie in freezer bag as well but it’s not necessary. When ready to serve the pie, allow to thaw in the fridge overnight. It is best served at room temperature. You can also warm the pie slightly if you enjoy it warm.
Can you freeze apple pie?
Yes, you can use other varieties of fruit in this pie. Some ideas include blackberries, raspberries and sliced strawberries.
Tips for Success
- It’s okay to overfill the pie crust. The apples will cook down while baking so don’t be alarmed if the pie crust seems overly full. Don’t be tempted to remove some or you will be left with a gap in between the crust once it bakes down.
- Don’t skip the egg wash. This gives the pie the wonderful golden color as it bakes.
- Cover the crust if it’s getting too brown. Check on the pie during the baking process. If the pie is getting overly brown, cover it with foil or a pie shield. This will prevent it from getting too brown while the pie finishes baking.
- Cut the apples into even slices. Try to slice the apples all the same size. This will help them to cook evenly. It also will make the pie easier to eat if you are not getting huge chunks of apples.
