Celebrate Pie Day With This Classic Blueberry Pie Recipe

Jan 23, 2017

Every day is pie day, in my opinion… but it is doubly so on National Pie Day, and what better way to celebrate than with a classic lattice-top blueberry pie? Pie crusts have been getting the royal treatment lately: Intricate pie crusts, decorated with everything from pastry leaves and flowers to complicated cutouts, have taken Instagram by absolute storm. So my humble blueberry pie is also the first time I tried experimenting with this technique, and I have to tell you — it’s so much fun! So get the flour and butter chilled, roll up your sleeves and let’s get baking.

Ingredients:

For the filling

  • 2 1/2 pounds frozen blueberries — defrost completely before using
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch plus 1 Tablespoon extra to sprinkle over pie crust
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • finely grated zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 Tablespoon fine sanding sugar to sprinkle over pie
  • a little butter

Instructions:

1. Defrost the blueberries overnight and drain any liquid that collects in the bowl. Mix with the other ingredients and keep chilled unless you are using straight away.

2. Once again, drain any liquid that collects in the bowl before filling the pie.

Ingredients:

For the pie crust

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 sticks cold, unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • About 1/2 cup ice-cold water (you may not need to use it all)

Instructions:

  1. Measure your flour, sugar and salt, and put in the bowl of your food processor. Chill the container in the fridge for an hour.
  2. Pulse the ingredients to mix together.
  3. Add the cubed butter and pulse again, in short bursts, until the mixture resembles chunky breadcrumbs.
  4. Gradually add the water, pulsing to mix it in. You need to add enough water so that the mixture just begins to clump together. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, a tablespoon at a time.
  5. Line your worktop with two large pieces of plastic wrap and tip the dough onto it.
  6. Use the wrap to bring the dough together into a ball.
  7. Unwrap and use a floured rolling pin to roll out slightly to a large disk. Wrap well and chill in the fridge for an hour.
  8. Lightly dust your worktop with flour. Divide the dough into two pieces, keeping the one you are not using wrapped in the fridge.
  9. Roll out the dough to 12 inches in diameter and about 1/8-inch thick, and carefully drape over an 8-inch pie plate. Press the dough right against the edges.
  10. Use scissors to cut any excess dough, but leave a border hanging off the pie plate. Gather any scraps to use later. Chill in the fridge while you prepare the lattice and decorations.
  11. Roll out the remaining dough as in step 9. Cut into an even number of strips using a pastry or pizza cutter — I used two widths of strips: one narrow and one wide.
  12. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and set the shelf in the bottom third of the oven. Line a tray with baking paper.
  13. Take the prepared pie plate and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Fill with the blueberries, piling them slightly higher in the center of the pie (make sure you drain any excess liquid first). Dot with small pieces of butter.
  14. Brush the edge of the pie with a little water. Lay half the strips vertically over the pie, spaced slightly apart.
  15. Fold back half the strips and lay a horizontal strip across the middle. Repeat with the remaining strips, folding back alternating vertical strips to create the lattice. Trim the edges, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Fold the edges under and crimp with a fork. Put the pie back in the fridge.
  16. Gather any scraps of dough and roll out. Use small plunge cutters or small cookie cutters to cut out different shapes — I used leaves, flowers and hearts.
  17. Lightly whisk one egg with a tablespoon of milk or cream. Brush over the entire pie and then arrange the decorations around the edges. Brush them with egg wash and sprinkle with the sanding sugar. Chill for 30 minutes.
  18. Place the pie on the prepared tray and bake for 20 minutes. If it is browning too quickly, tent with some foil.
  19. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for a further 45 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the filling just starts to bubble through the lattice. Transfer to a wire rack and cool for at least three hours before serving.

Defrost the blueberries overnight and drain any liquid that collects in the bowl. Mix with the other ingredients and keep chilled unless you are using straight away. Once again, drain any liquid that collects in the bowl before filling the pie.

Measure your flour, sugar and salt and put in the bowl of your food processor. Chill the container in the fridge for an hour. Pulse the ingredients to mix together.

Add the cubed butter and pulse again, in short bursts, until the mixture resembles chunky breadcrumbs.

Line your worktop with two large pieces of plastic wrap and tip the dough on it.

Use the wrap to bring the dough together into a ball. Unwrap and use a floured rolling pin to roll out slightly to a large disk. Wrap well and chill in the fridge for an hour.

Lightly dust your worktop with flour. Divide the dough into two pieces, keeping the one you are not using wrapped in the fridge.

Roll out the dough to 12 inches in diameter and about 1/8-inch thick, and carefully drape over an eight-inch pie plate. Press the dough right against the edges.

Use scissors to cut any excess dough, but leave a border hanging off the pie plate. Gather any scraps to use later. Chill in the fridge while you prepare the lattice and decorations.

Roll out the remaining dough as in step nine. Cut into an even number of strips using a pastry or pizza cutter — I used two widths of strips: one narrow and one wide.

Take the prepared pie plate and sprinkle with one tablespoon of cornstarch. Fill with the blueberries, piling them slightly higher in the center of the pie (make sure you drain any excess liquid first). Dot with small pieces of butter.

Brush the edge of the pie with a little water. Lay half the strips vertically over the pie, spaced slightly apart. Fold back half the strips and lay a horizontal strip across the middle. Repeat with the remaining strips, folding back alternating vertical strips to create the lattice.

Trim the edges, leaving a one-inch overhang. Fold the edges under and crimp with a fork. Put the pie back in the fridge.

Gather any scraps of dough and roll out. Use small plunge cutters or small cookie cutters to cut out different shapes — I used leaves, flowers and hearts.

Lightly whisk one egg with a tablespoon of milk or cream. Brush over the entire pie and then arrange the decorations around the edges. Brush them with egg wash and sprinkle with the sanding sugar. Chill for 30 minutes.

Place the pie on the prepared tray and bake for 20 minutes. If it is browning too quickly, tent with some foil.

Reduce the heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for a further 45 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the filling just starts to bubble through the lattice. Transfer to a wire rack and cool for at least three hours before serving.

18 Summer Pies For A Sweet Fourth of July

We'll be the first to admit it: We love pie. Sweet pie, spiked pie, pie a la mode… if it has a flaky crust and a fruit (okay, or chocolate) filling, we're in. That doesn't mean we don't love a good cookie every now and then, and yes, we've been known to devour a molten lava cake or three, but if we all had spirit foods ours would absolutely, positively be pie.

Assuming our wild affection for these bits of pastry wonder hasn't dimmed your own interest, let's get down to business and talk 18 of the best pies to bring to all of your summer gatherings this season. Definitely ours.

Brit + Co

Classic Blueberry Pie

Sometimes, nothing's better than the classics. The blueberry and the pie crust of this recipe have the blue and the white covered, but feel free to add some red food coloring to make this recipe extra patriotic. (via Brit + Co)

Averie Cooks

S'mores Brownie Pie

Let's start things off with a firecracker bang. This is a s'mores pie. In other words, it is a decadent treat that should probably make an appearance at every picnic, barbecue and Fourth of July celebration you attend this summer. (via Averie Cooks)

Neighborfood

Frozen Strawberry Lemonade Pie

Light, refreshing and reminiscent of a classic summer beverage, this strawberry lemonade pie is great for hot summer days. You don't have to serve it with a glass of strawberry lemonade, but we wouldn't blame you if you did. (via Neighborfood)

Tartelette

End of Summer Pie

By the time 4th of July comes around, we have more than enough berries on our hands. A quintessential summer treat, this triple-berry pie combines some of the best flavors of the season under a pretty lattice crust, and cleans out your fridge at the same time. (via Tartelette)

Brit + Co

Apple Pie Tacos

If you see your Independence Day being full of adventure and traveling, you might want to opt for these travel-sized pies. Apple pie is a summer classic, and if you're feeling Southern, add some slabs of cheddar cheese on top (trust us). (via Brit + Co)

A Cozy Kitchen

Blackberry Cardamom Hand Pies

Rumor has it that hand pies are good for portion control, but that seems to only be true if you can keep yourself from eating five in one sitting. Trust us, it's harder than it sounds. The combination of spice and summer fruithere is extra hard to resist. (via A Cozy Kitchen)

Bakers Royale

Blackberry Lime Pie

While we're on the subject of new spins on summer fruits, this blackberry lime pie is infinitely worth your consideration. It's like a margarita that you can eat. (via Bakers Royale)

How Sweet It Is

Strawberry Mug Pies

This is pie in a mug. Pie. In. A. Mug. Plus, sweet summer strawberries always make things better. You can thank us later. (via How Sweet It Is)

Saveur

Plum Pie

Sweet and tart, this pie combines the flavor of grapes and fresh plums to make a summer pie with intense flavor. In addition to the killer flavor, we love that this pie comes with a hack: just use a can of grape jelly to help make the filling. (via Saveur)

Heart of Gold

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie With Rose Scented Whipped Cream

It's the rose-scented whipped cream that truly caught our attention here, and we're pretty sure that we're going to add it to every dessert recipe for the rest of the summer. (via Heart of Gold)

Averie Cooks

Crack Pie

The original pie can be found at Momfuku Milk Bar. To make it yourself, it demands a moderate chunk of time and has a lot of ingredients… but its name does not lie. So addicting! Don't worry about bringing any Tupperware. You won't need any. (via Averie Cooks)

Gimme Some Oven

Mojito Pie

A minty, Mojito-inspired twist on a classic Key Lime Pie. This is our idea of a great happy hour. (via Gimme Some Oven)

A Beautiful Mess

Buttermilk and Honey Pie

A custard-based pie, this sweet treat is easy to whip up and would taste fantastic alongside a pile of summer berries. Sprinkle some sugar overtop of the berries beforehand to make them extra sweet. (via A Beautiful Mess)

Bon Appetit

Sour Cherry Pie

Rumor has it you should eat this pie's leftovers for breakfast. Who'd say no to that? (Not us). (via Bon Appetit)

Port and Fin

Key Lime Pie

The coconut graham cracker crust on this pie sounds extra refreshing for summer weekends, and make sure you keep it in the fridge right up until you're ready to serve. (via Port and Fin)

Sprinkle Bakes

Deep Dish Berry Pie Tart

We'd never argue with a cream cheese pie crust. Or a deep dish pie. Ever. Grab some extra whipped cream to balance out all those extra berries. (via Sprinkle Bakes)

Joy The Baker

Lemon Raspberry Pie Crust Hearts

Just in case you have a little extra crust left over at the end of your kitchen adventure, these pie crust hearts have your name written all over them. (via Joy The Baker)

Brit + Co

Raspberry Cream Pie

This pie features fresh berries and cream cheese, all wrapped up in a delicious Nilla Wafer crust. It's okay, our mouths are watering too. (via Brit + Co)

In an interview with GQ, Tom Holland opened up about his relationship with Zendaya and how their relationship to fame has impacted everything.

“It was quite strange and weird and confusing and invasive,” Zendaya agrees. “I think loving someone is a sacred thing and a special thing and something that you want to deal with and go through and experience and enjoy amongst the two people that love each other."

“Our relationship is something that we are incredibly protective of and we want to keep as sacred as possible," Tom later told The Hollywood Reporter. "We don’t think that we owe it to anyone, it’s our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers.”

February 15, 2023 — Tom Holland Supports Zendaya's Dune 2

The London premiere of Dune 2 was *very* eventful. Zendaya basically broke the internet by wearing a Mugler "Machinenmensch" robot suit (before changing into this chic black dress from Mugler by Casey Cadwallader), a certain actress spoiled her appearance in the movie by showing up to the carpet, and Tom Holland and Zendaya were spotted at the afterparty together. I love the care and attention Tom shows Zendaya (I, too, would be overwhelmed if I was surrounded by paparazzi like in this video of the couple), and I hope they got to unwind after a crazy night!

"Everybody's kind of got their own [rizz]," she tells Buzzfeed. "I think someone who has beautiful charisma, not on the Dune cast, but...it works for me, is Mr. Tom Holland."

"I'm more shy and kind of quiet, so it takes a little bit more to pull me out of my shell but he's great at just talking to people and getting to know people," she continues. "He's just naturally very good at that. Or as for me, I've definitely had to pull it out of me a little bit. He's got that natural gift."

March 17, 2024 — Tom Holland And Zendaya Watch A Tennis Game

Ahead of Zendaya's spring movie Challengers (in which she plays a tennis pro-turned-coach opposite Mike Faist and Josh O'Connor), she watched the BNP Paribas Open Men's Final at Indian Wells Tennis Garden. Alongside Tom Holland and her assistant Darnell Appling, who she frequently calls her brother, Zendaya got comfy in a cream-colored tennis skirt, tank top, and zip-up hoodie ensemble. Spring really is here!! My favorite part of the afternoon is when Tom Holland and Zendaya sang along with Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody."

April 9, 2024 — Zendaya Raves About Tom Holland

In her Vogue cover story for May 2024, Zendaya talks a lot about how fame has affected both her life and Tom Holland's. “His [career] changed overnight. One day you’re a kid and you’re at the pub with your friends, and then the next day you’re Spider-Man,” she says. “I definitely watched his life kind of change in front of him. But he handled it really beautifully.”

That star power was evident in 2022, when Tom Holland and Zendaya spent the afternoon at the Louvre in Paris...and almost broke the internet. “You just kind of get used to the fact that, 'Oh, I’m also one of these art pieces you’re going to take a picture of. I just gotta be totally cool with it and just live my life,'" Zendaya continues. (She also says that when the museum let them walk around after-hours, "it was like Night at the Museum.”)

This spring, Zendaya can't wait to see Tom Holland in his London production of Romeo & Juliet: "[I] could not be more proud. I’m going to try to see as many shows as I possibly can.”

April 10, 2024 — Challengers Premieres In London

Tom Holland showed up for the London premiere of Challengers, and got to support Zendaya in the sweetest way. In this video captured at the premiere, you can see Tom and Z share a hug and a kiss on the cheek during the evening. Even the smallest gesture can mean a lot during a busy night, and I love how in sync Tom Holland and Zendaya are!

The latest viral clip about Tom Holland and Zendaya also has to do with Challengers. During another Challengers press tour stop, Zendaya's overjoyed to be presented with a bouquet of gardenias. “These are my favorite flowers!” she exclaims. When asked if Tom Holland buys her flowers, she points at the camera and jokes, “I hope he's watching!”

While not every girlfriend necessarily wants a bouquet, every couple definitely has to figure out each other's love languages so they can get to know each other better — and apparently A-listers are the exact same!

August 31, 2024 — Zendaya And Tom Holland Match On A Day Date

After a summer starring in Romeo and Juliet, Tom Holland took a late-summer stroll with Zendaya in Calabasas, California.

October 15, 2024 — Tom Holland Launches A New Company With Unexpected Help From Zendaya

After going sober in 2022, Tom Holland announced on October 15 he was launching a non-alcoholic drink company called Bero. “When I got sober, I started exploring the world of non-alcoholic beers and realized there was space for me to fit in,” Tom says in an interview with Forbes. “My first year sober was really difficult, and had I had Bero, I think it would have been easier.”

“Zendaya hates beer, like, absolutely hates beer," he continues. And when she helped with the taste testing, a joke helped guide the overall brand. "She does not drink beer at all, and the first round of testing she was like, ‘Wow, these are really tasty’, and I was like, ‘Well, that's probably not a good sign.'"

And at the launch event for Bero in New York City, Tom and Zendaya wore matching shades of burgundy! Z stunned in a floor-length leather dress while Tom paired a short sleeve sweater with black trousers.

October 15, 2024 — Zendaya Reveals Why She'd Never Take A Dance Class With Tom Holland

While speaking to Teen Vogue for her partnership with On, Zendaya reveals she'd probably avoid dance classes with Tom Holland because "he's too good, it would piss me off," she jokes. "I would want to take someone who could be equally as bad as me."

"Kayaking, I would choose Tom because I think that, if I can remember correctly, with the kayak, you have to be in sync with the person," she continues. "And I think it would be hilarious because we are both very controlling and we both want to be in charge. So it would be funny to watch us be like, no, we're going to go this way. No, we're going to go that way. And I think it would be a good story after the fact."

I Found The Best Drugstore Lipstick — & I Already Bought It 3x In A Row

Move over expensive MAC haul — I've discovered the best drugstore lipstick that rivals my $20+ purchases. I love finding dupes for my beauty lovers who can't continuously drop a huge amount of money on new products that eventually expire. Since I'm 100% against using old makeup, I'd rather chat your eat off about the affordable drugstore finds I'm using consistently these days.

IMO, the best drugstore lipstick is the Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Lipstick! Coming from one of the OG beauty brands, it's formula was surprising because I almost expected it to fail. It sounds silly, but trying drugstore brands used to be a hit or miss before social media started demanding that all makeup products stop being subpar.

Since this lipstick passed the test, here's everything you need to know about it — including why I l keep buying it and all the other best drugstore lipsticks I love!

What is Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink used for?

Jasmine Williams

Anyone can say that their lipstick is THE BEST, but that's not always true. So, what's the tea on the Super Stay Matte Ink formula? According to the brand's notes on Amazon, here's what you can expect to this lipstick to do:

  • Glide on easily because of the "unique arrow application"
  • Provide a "perfectly matte" finish
  • Remain "smudge-free" for up to "16 hours"

It sounds like a lot of fluff if you've never tried the formula before, so I scrolled through the comment section to see what other customers think.

What are other customers saying about it?

Maybelline

Most of the customer reviews I read through on Amazon are extremely thorough so here are the ones that stood out the most:

  • "I am really hooked on this lipstick! It's very long wearing and it's super gentle on my lips...Let me address some common complaints among other reviewers and why I think they're wrong...Oil takes this stuff off quite easily, so do some makeup wipes...Secondly, I do agree that this product is very sticky. I have found that I can put my Mac lipgloss on over top and now it's not sticky anymore!"
  • "I’ve purchased this longevity wand type lipstick a few times and I like the texture and staying power. Sometimes I put another glossy lipstick over if it seems drying however it stays very nicely for the day."
  • "This is my first time purchasing this brand. When I say it last all day, it doesn't come off until you take it off! Some might see this as bothersome, but having it stay on until I need it off is the greatest thing."
  • My Favorite Review: "I put it on at around 3:30 pm and fell asleep with it on cause it was a busy night, it was still on the next morning. I had to use multiple makeup remover wipes and wash my face with a good makeup remover to get it off."

My Review For Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink Lipstick

Jasmine Williams

I used to be terrified of wearing 'nude' lip colors because I thought they would be too much of a contrast against my complexion, but watching a few YouTube tutorials nipped my fear in the bud. I make the 'Seductress' shade work for me by lining my lips with a dark brown liner. Once I did that, I immediately fell for the way it looks on me. It's to the point where I actually can't stop wearing lip combo — it's so easy to apply and takes less than two minutes to set!

How long does Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink Lipstick last?

Before I started applying gloss over my nude lip combo, I wanted to test two very important things:

  1. If this matte lipstick could pass the smudge-proof test. I've tried other brands, and they haven't always stayed in place — especially when eating or drinking something — so I was skeptical.
  2. How long it actually lasts, smudge-proof or not. I mean, who among us hasn't gotten home after an evening out to find their lipstick basically nonexistent?

Like one of the customer reviews suggests, this lipstick has come off a little while eating things like pasta or pizza, so it's not 100% "smudge-free." Given that, I only had to reapply this lipstick once throughout an 8-hour day — which isn't a huge deal to me because it takes less than 30 seconds to reapply it. The best way I get it to stay put is by applying lip gloss and a teeny amount of setting spray over it.

Target

Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Lipstick

Lately, I've even been adding the Maybelline Lifter Gloss in the shade 'Stone' as a way to truly lock in the color. It highlights the 'Seductress' shade of the Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Lipstick which is a huge plus for me.

For less than $12, I think it's absolutely worth buying multiple times!

More Best Drugstore Lipsticks

Target

The Lip Bar Vegan Matte Liquid Lipstick

When I'm in the mood for a universal red lipstick that has the best color payoff, I always turn to The Lip Bar's 'Bawse Lady.' She's a gorgeous blue-red that highlights all undertones without making anyone looked washed out.

Target

Revlon Colorstay Limitless Matte Lipstick

I discovered Revlon's Colorstay formula while browsing for a deeper lipstick for fall and it does not disappoint! It's another vegan product that has triple hyaluronic acid and upcycled cranberry extract in it so it literally feels like you're not wearing anything on your lips!

Target

Milani Color Fetish Matte Lipstick

The word 'Fetish' may be off-putting, but don't write this lipstick off because of the name — ha! I typically wear this when I don't want to wait for a liquid lipstick to dry. It's super velvety and also contains hyaluronic acid in it to help keep lips moisturized.

Target

Nyx Professional Makeup Smooth Whip Matte Lip Cream

Last but not least, Nyx has never let me down in the lip department before. If I'm truly shopping on a budget, I'll reach for the Smooth Whip Matte Lip Cream because it glides on my lips like butter. That's not to say I know what it feels like to rub butter all over my lips, but you get what I mean! It's soft and has a gorgeous color payoff that makes me feel like it's comparable to the best lipstick I swear by.
