Blueberry pie is a fruit pie with a blueberry filling. Blueberry pie is readily made because it does not require pitting or peeling of fruit. It usually has a top and bottom crust. The top crust can be circular, but the pie can also have a crumble crust or no top crust. Blueberry pies are often eaten in the summertime when blueberries are in season in the Northern Hemisphere.[3]
History
[edit]Blueberry pie was first eaten by early American settlers.[4] Berry pie, including with blueberries, was documented in the US region of New England as early as 1872 in the Appledore Cook Book.[5]
Wild ('lowbush') and cultivated ('highbush') blueberries, which are native to North America, are used to make blueberry pie. In the 21st century, it is a common dessert in Canada[6] and the United States where blueberry pie made with wild blueberries is the official state dessert of Maine.[7]
Ingredients
[edit]The typical primary ingredients for blueberry pie are rinsed and stemmed blueberries. The berries can be frozen or fresh. Other ingredients include flour or instant tapioca, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, vanilla and butter. Ingredients may vary, depending upon the recipe. [8]
