A super quick, easy, and fun way to make and eat blueberry pie. Everyone will love this twist on a classic seasonal summer dessert!
I go back and forth between listening to our local Christian and Country radio stations. I love the snippets of encouragement and parenting tips that the Christian radio station plays! Yesterday the host said parents make an average of 221 mistakes a year. When I heard 221 I was shocked… but then it was followed by ‘in a year’ and I wasn’t so shocked anymore. Didn’t sound like it was so bad when they put it that way! That would be about 18 mistakes a month, so less than once a day. HA!
But I got to thinking, how in the world does someone come to that conclusion? There is no way a survey can be sent and parents can honestly respond with how many mistakes they’ve made in the past year. I wouldn’t know and I certainly don’t want to keep track of them!
Does that mean they did a focus group study where parents kept track of their mistakes over the course of a year?! That would be torture! I prefer to count my blessings, not my mistakes! There are some days I really beat myself up because I think I am not good enough to be a Mom, sometimes it takes several days to shake it. There are days when I am short or rushed, days I am checked out, days when hearing ‘Mom’ for the 1,627,999th time is like nails on a chalk board, days where I feel like I am failing, and days I feel like disciplining makes me a bad Mom.
But then I snap out of it, because there are also days when I listen and slow down, days I am engaged and present, days when I looooove hearing ‘Mom’ for the 1,627,999th time, days where I feel like I have it together, and days I remind myself that I discipline because I love my son way too much to not discipline him. I’d much rather focus on those days then to count the number of mistakes I’ve made.
Do you know what isn’t a mistake? Making these Blueberry Pie Fries. I am not a huge fan of pie, unless it’s swimming in ice cream. But here’s what I love about these babies:
- Buy a crust
- Spend 5 minutes making the blueberry pie filling
- Spread over the center of the crust
- Seal and bake
Super easy and DELICIOUS!
What You Need to Make Blueberry Pie Fries
- Fresh Blueberries
- Lemon Juice
- Brown Sugar
- Cornstarch
- Vanilla Extract
- Cinnamon
- Store Bought Pie Crust
- Egg
- Sugar
How to Make Blueberry Pie Fries
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Remove 1 14 oz box of refrigerated store bought pie crusts from the refrigerator and set aside.
- Combine 3 cups blueberries, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 3 tbsp cornstarch, 2 tsp vanilla, and 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon in a sauce pan over medium heat. Stir frequently until sauce forms. Bring mixture to a boil while continuing to stir. Continue to cook and stir for about 6 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
- Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Unroll one pie crust onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread blueberry mixture onto the pie crust, leaving a small space around the edge of the crust to pinch, then cover with the second pie crust.
- Pinch edges together all the way around the pie with a fork.
- Beat 1 egg and brush the entire top of the crust with it. (You won’t use the entire beaten egg, just discard the rest.)
- Sprinkle the entire top of the crust with sugar.
- Using a pizza cutter, cut into fry shapes.
- Bake for 35 minutes, or until crust is golden.
Tips for Making and Storing Blueberry Pie Fries
- To cut into fry shapes, cut all the way down the center of the pie from side to side. Rotate and do the same thing the other direction so it looks like a plus sign. Cut into fry shapes by starting from the center and working your way out by cutting desired width of the fry.
- You can eat the fries plain (I do!) or make an icing dip to go with. I’ve also seen people make a caramel dip for these!
- Do not store covered. If you store covered, they will get too soft. They are perfectly fine left uncovered on the counter or in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
