THE one and only blueberry pie recipe you’ll ever need. My mom knows blueberry pie is my favorite and it’s one recipe I have not made… I really like that she makes it for me and if she sees I can make it, I’m afraid she’ll tell me to make it myself.
You asked for it… ( I posted that my mom made me a blueberry pie, and I got many requests for the recipe).
and my mom was happy to share her Blueberry Pie Recipe with all of you. She’s been making this pie my whole life, and it’s always so delicious.
Really it’s the BEST blueberry pie I’ve ever had.
I request it any time she askes what I’d like her to make for dessert, she makes a lot of desserts I like, but this one it always tops!
I always like my blueberry pie COLD… so she makes it the day before. That way it has plenty of time to get cold, and as you can see as you slice it, the pie doesn’t fall apart… I kinda like that A LOT!
As you can see the pie is full of blueberries. It’s a thick pie with a double crust. Just perfect if you ask me.
Should I use fresh or frozen blueberries?
You can use either one. My mom says she’s used both and even a combination of them in pies with great results. Do not thaw the frozen blueberries if you use frozen berries, put them in the pie frozen.
What can I use instead of tapioca to thicken the pie filling?
You can use 1/4 cup cornstarch instead of tapioca, but my mom prefers the tapioca.

That pie is SO gorgeous! Pie crusts are the bane of my existence, but I'll give Mom's a try. I would happily make one of these and just serve it for dinner tonight … 🙂

Don't you just love it when mom finally shares her pie recipes? I had to be married before my mom would give me her peach pie recipe.

I'm new to your lovely blog. I've never cooked with tapioca before. Are you using tapioca pudding or something else? It's a beautiful pie. Thank you for the recipe.
