Step-by-step
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Spray a 9-inch round pie dish very well with cooking spray; set aside. I used a glass pie dish; baking times may vary if using metal.
- To a large bowl, add 1 cup sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and whisk to combine; set aside.
- To a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and heat on high power to melt, about 45 seconds. Wait momentarily before adding the eggs so you don’t scramble them.
- Add the eggs, extracts, and whisk to combine.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry and stir to combine; don’t overmix.
- Add 2 cups blueberries and stir to combine; batter is very thick.
- Turn mixture out into prepared pie dish, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
- Evenly sprinkle 1/4 cup blueberries over the top.
- Evenly sprinkle 2 tablespoons sugar over the top and bake for about 34 to 39 minutes, or until edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs but no batter. I prefer to underbake slightly (35 minutes) for a more gooey center but it’s personal preference and since all ovens, climates, and berries vary, watch your pie and not the clock.
- Allow pie to cool in pie dish on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
- Optionally serve with whipped topping or ice cream.
- Pie will keep airtight at room temp for up to 5 days.
My Favorite Summer Dessert: Crustless Blueberry Pie
Summer is my absolute favorite time of year. The long, sunny days, the warm evenings spent on the patio, and of course, the abundance of fresh, seasonal fruit! This year, I've been on a mission to bake more than ever before, and one of my most recent successes (and my family’s favorite) is this unbelievably easy crustless blueberry pie. Forget everything you thought you knew about pie making – this recipe is a game-changer, perfect for even the busiest of schedules.
I’m a busy working mom, juggling a career, a family, and all the everyday things life throws our way. Finding time for elaborate baking projects is often a challenge. This recipe is my answer to those busy days when I still crave something delicious and homemade. The "crustless" aspect isn't just about convenience; it adds a unique texture that falls somewhere between a pie, a cake, and even blondies. It's wonderfully moist, with the perfect balance of sweet and tart from the blueberries.
The best part? This recipe is incredibly adaptable. While I’ve perfected it with fresh blueberries, I’m sure other berries like raspberries or blackberries would be fantastic. The simplicity allows for creative experimentation. You can also adjust the sweetness to your liking, adding a bit more or less sugar depending on the tartness of your fruit. I’ve even played around with adding a sprinkle of lemon zest for an extra zing!
This pie is a true crowd-pleaser, perfect for potlucks, picnics, or simply enjoying a sweet treat at home. It's easy to transport, and it holds up well at room temperature, so there's no need to worry about refrigeration. What's more, the leftovers (if there are any!) are just as delicious the next day, maybe even better. The flavors seem to meld together beautifully overnight.
I've always loved baking. As a little girl, I would spend hours in the kitchen with my grandmother, watching her create magic with flour, sugar, and spices. Her baking was always the centerpiece of our family gatherings, a symbol of love and togetherness. Now, as a busy mom, I try to create those same comforting moments for my own family, and this crustless blueberry pie has quickly become a new favorite. It’s a testament to the fact that simple recipes can sometimes be the most rewarding, especially when shared with loved ones.
Beyond the delicious taste, there’s a certain satisfaction in creating something beautiful and delicious from simple ingredients. This pie is not only easy to make, but it’s also visually appealing. The glistening blueberries atop the golden-brown batter make it a true showstopper. And that's what I love about baking – it's a way to express myself creatively, to share a piece of my heart, and to make my family happy.
So, this summer, ditch the complicated pie crusts and embrace the simplicity of this crustless blueberry pie. It's a recipe that will save you time and effort without sacrificing any of the flavor or joy of homemade baking. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a complete novice, this recipe is sure to become a staple in your summer repertoire. Go ahead, give it a try. You won’t be disappointed!
And don’t forget to share your creations! I’d love to see your beautiful crustless blueberry pies. Tag me on social media – I’m always looking for inspiration and love connecting with fellow baking enthusiasts. Happy baking!
Pro Tip: For an extra special touch, consider adding a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It’s the perfect complement to the warm, gooey pie. You could even try a sprinkle of toasted pecans or almonds for added crunch. The possibilities are endless!
