Ingredients
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar divided
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or to taste
- ½ to 1 teaspoon of almond extract adjusted to your preference
- 2 cups plus ¼ cup fresh blueberries divided
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously spray a 9-inch round pie dish with cooking spray. If using a metal dish, baking times may vary.
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- Melt the Butter: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter on high for about 45 seconds. Allow it to cool slightly before proceeding.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the melted butter. Whisk until well combined.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the wet mixture to the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir until combined, but avoid overmixing. The batter will be thick.
- Incorporate Blueberries: Gently fold in 2 cups of blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Transfer to Pie Dish: Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Top the Pie: Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup blueberries and 2 tablespoons of sugar evenly over the top of the pie.
- Bake: Bake for 34 to 39 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs (no raw batter).
- Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool on a wire rack before cutting into it. Serve it as is or with whipped topping or ice cream for added indulgence.
Notes
- For a gooier center, consider baking for 35 minutes, though this is based on personal preference. Every oven and climate vary, so keep an eye on your pie while baking.
- This pie will keep for up to 5 days if stored airtight at room temperature.
