Description

This luscious blueberry pie perfection recipe lets the flavor of fresh blueberries shine through in a delectable, warmly spiced gingersnap crumb crust.

Ingredients

2 cups coarse gingersnap cookie crumbs
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
4 cups fresh blueberries, divided
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) with an oven rack in center position.
2 Combine gingersnap crumbs, brown sugar, and butter in a bowl; press into bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
3 Bake in the preheated oven on the center rack until just set, 3 to 4 minutes (do not overbake or crust will be too hard to cut). Cool.
4 Stir cornstarch and water together in a saucepan until smooth; add 1 ½ cups blueberries and white sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Off heat, stir in remaining 2 ½ cups blueberries and lemon juice.
5 Pour blueberry filling into crust; refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour.
