What’s the best part of summer? Homemade pie of course!! My blueberry pie crust is made with lots of butter and tastes just like a summer dream with any fruit filling. The combo of blueberry with rhubarb is a softly sweet and sour flavor I’m currently addicted to. Adding cinnamon and nutmeg instead of lemon juice helps with the tartness. Pair it with a big scoop of ice cream for a hot summer day!

What you need to make this pie crust design:

  • Cookie cutter of choice.
  • One pie crust
  • Sparkling Sugar
  • Fresh blueberries and rhubarb!
  • Local Honey

Tips for Blueberry Rhubarb Pie

  • Make your pie crusts ahead of time, wrap in plastic and keep in the fridge. (1- 2 hrs)
  • When you’re ready to make your pie, set out crusts on counter for about 15-20 minutes to soften.
  • Place bottom crust in the pan and shape edges. Refrigerate crust for 15 minutes to firm.
  • Scoop filling into chilled bottom pie crust.
  • Roll out second crust to ⅛ inch thickness and cut out shapes. Use as many or as little as you want!
  • Arrange cut pie crust shapes on top of filling.
  • Paint egg wash or cold water between overlapping crust to help stick.
  • Then apply a thin coating of egg wash on top of all remaining crust.
  • Sprinkle with sparkling sugar.
  • Place prepared pie in the fridge to chill again for 20 minutes before baking.
  • A cold crust will keep its shape while baking!

Ingredients

Filling

  • ½  Cup  (63 grams) All Purpose Flour
  • ¼  teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • ½  teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 3  Cups  (300 grams) fresh blueberries
  • 2 Cups (200 grams) fresh chopped rhubarb stalks
  • ½ Cup (170 grams) Honey

Homemade Pie Crust

    Egg Wash

    • 1 Egg lightly beaten with a fork

    Instructions

    Crust

    • Make Homemade Pie Crust and wrap in plastic wrap and set in the fridge for 30 minutes while you prepare the filling.
    • Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C).

    Filling

    • In a large bowl whisk together ½ cup flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Gently stir in blueberries and chopped rhubarb pieces with spatula until well coated. Pour in honey and stir softly until incorporated.
    • Divide pie crust in half and roll one half onto lightly floured surface to about ⅛ inch thick 12 inch wide circle. The circle should be a couple inches larger than your pie pan.
    • Carefully place crust into pan and use fingers tips to softly press into the corners, allowing excess crust to lay over the sides of the pan.
    • Spoon blueberry mixture into prepared pie crust.
    • Roll out second half of pie crust.
    • Use your cookie cutter to create shapes with the remaining dough pieces. Place across your uncovered filling in any pattern.
    • Brush egg wash onto dough cutouts and sprinkle with sugar.  Place pie pan on cookie sheet and put in the oven.
    • Bake for 20 minutes.
    • Remove from oven and lightly cover pie with aluminum foil (tent slightly) to prevent burning the crust. Continue to bake for 30-40 minutes.
    • Pie is ready when filling is bubbly and crust is golden brown.
    • Place pie on cooling rack and allow to cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.

      Not possible to get Rhubarb fresh where I am at. Is it possible to use frozen fruit unthawed and bake pie longer?

        Hi Deb! Yes, you can use frozen fruit, just let it come do room temperature on some paper towels to absorb any excess juices that frozen fruit may have before adding it to the filling.
