Notes
NOTE: This is a very difficult pie crust to work with. It’s extremely delicate no matter what kind of oil or liquid is used. It always comes apart while trying to fit it into the pie plate. I recommend my Homemade Pie Crust or a store-bought pie shell instead.NOTE: This is about 2 ½ dry pints of blueberries.NOTE: My pie shell took 14-15 minutes to bake completely.NOTE: If you use a store-bought pie shell, you can bake that while the blueberry sauce is cooking on top of the stove. You can have the pie ready in about 15-20 minutes. Refrigerate 4-6 hours or even overnight before serving.
