I am not a baker, never have been, so I was kind of worried about trying to make my own crust. This was the first pie I've ever made...I made this for some friends, and now I am known as the best pie-maker in town. I added a little over a tablespoon of grated ginger to the filling and it rocked. The crust was sooo flakey and delicious...I really impressed myself! I followed everything exactly (except for adding some ginger.

I've made it probably ten times and rarely have leftovers.
you do have to cool it completely before cutting and serving or else it will be soupy.

I followed this recipe to the letter. When I cut into the pie, the blueberry filling came out like SOUP. Very embarrassing in front of guests. I saw some other reviews talking about Instant Clearjel and Corn Starch. I will use one of these next time. I used my own crust recipe and a food processor. It is always great. To pamelajbd: the reason your fluting fell flat is because you need to chill the pie for AT LEAST 30 minutes before baking in the oven. That way the dough will "stand up" very well through the hot oven baking.

A delicious recipe and very easy to follow, the tapioca does a very good job of providing just enough thickening without being obvious. I haven't tried the crust yet (I used Pillsbury prepared pie crusts but intend to do so the next chance I get.

So good! This was my first pie ever--it was easy to make, and it tastes so great! I followed the recipe exactly, I just needed a little extra ice water because the crust dough was a little dry at first. The filling set well and was not runny at all. Everyone has been raving about this pie, I can't recommend it enough!

Excellent! I use a product from THE BAKER'S KITCHEN, called "INTANT CLEARJEL". It's used specifically for clear and smooth thickening of pie fillings & sauces. YOU JUST ADD 1-2 T. along with your sugar. NO MORE LIQUIDY FRUIT FILLINGS!!

I have never been brave enough to make my own pie crust but thought I'd give it a try and boy was I surprised at how easy it was from beginning to roll out! Not to mention the crust taste AMAZING. I will never buy crust again. Now for the filling, it tastes wonderful but can be runny. I used 1/4c cornstarch and waited till the next day. That helped. I would simmer the blueberries much longer to ensure the sauce becomes thick enough. DO TRY!!

This was so delicious!!! The blueberry filling is perfect, not too mushy not too firm and it was easy enough. I even cheated and used a store bought pie crust and it was still fantastic! Make this and enjoy!

This pie is AMAZING! I'm not a big pie person. I made this with fresh blueberries I picked from a local farm and took it into work. I can't count the number of adjectives everyone used to describe this pie! I bring baked goods in a good bit to work and this was the most over the top reaction I have ever received! MAKE THIS PIE! AWESOME! I even used a store bought deep dish crust for the bottom portion and halved the dough recipe to make the top. I did lattice work for the top and used a star cookie cutter I had for two stars on the top. YuMMO!

The flavor of this pie is phenomenal. One thing I would suggest is to follow the recipe exactly. For instance, it says to roll up or pinch the overhang to seal. I tried to flute the edges, and I think, with the high butter content, the fluting fell flat. By just rolling up the edge on the lip of the pie pan you will achieve a much more attractive pie. I'm in awe of the simplicity of the recipe and the complexity of the flavor. Wonderful!
