30 by 30: Lattice Topped Pie

This is one of those items that was on my 30 by 30 list not because of difficulty but because I had never done it and wanted to give it a shot. A lattice topped pie is no more difficult that a regular double crusted pie and it looks so pretty. I used a basic blueberry pie recipe and boy was it good! The pie didn't last long, that's for sure!

Enjoy!

Blueberry Pie
Recipe adapted from AllRecipes

3/4 cup white sugar
5 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 cups fresh blueberries
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
1 tablespoon butter

Preheat oven to 375.

Mix sugar, cornstarch, salt, and cinnamon. Sprinkle over blueberries.

Line dish with one pie crust. Pour berry mixture into crust and dot with butter. Cut remaining dough into wide strips and make a lattice top.

Bake for 50 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

  1. Beautiful pie! It looks like something out of a fairytale... I mean, if fairytales had pies. They should! Glad it turned out well and you tried something you'd been wanting to do :)
