Fresh blueberry pie is one of my seasonal favorites. Be sure to use fresh blueberries, not frozen. I also use the Pillsbury Refrigerated Pie Crusts to save time.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Fresh blueberries are delish in most anything, and this blueberry pie recipe is right up there! It's baked perfectly with just the right balance of sweetness from the sugar and tartness from the blueberries and lemon. Using a prepared crust makes this super easy to whip up. The milk wash and sprinkle of sugar on the crust give the pie a special touch and tricks people into thinking it took you all afternoon to make this pie. Top with some freshly whipped cream and you have one delightful dessert. This blueberry pie is a summertime dream.
