Ingredients
Scale
Blueberry Layer
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
Batter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch pie dish by greasing it with butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Blueberries: Spread the fresh blueberries evenly across the bottom of the greased pie dish to form the base layer of your pie.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Assemble Pie: Pour the batter evenly over the blueberries in the pie dish, spreading gently to ensure all berries are covered with batter.
- Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes to set before serving warm or at room temperature. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- This pie is delightful on its own or served with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for added richness.
- Frozen blueberries can be used, but bake with them frozen to avoid excess moisture making the pie soggy.
- For extra texture and flavor, sprinkle sliced almonds on top before baking for a nuttier taste.
