Ingredients

• 2 ready-made pie crusts
• 6 cups fresh blueberries
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, sliced

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Place one pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, flour, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Gently toss until the blueberries are evenly coated.
4. Pour the blueberry mixture into the pie crust in the dish, spreading it out evenly.
5. Dot the top of the blueberry mixture with sliced butter.
6. Cover the pie with the second pie crust, and seal the edges by crimping with a fork or your fingers.
7. Using a sharp knife, make a few slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
8. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips, and then transfer it to the preheated oven.
9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbling.
10. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set and thicken.
11. Slice and serve the half-baked blueberry pie on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
