Blueberry Pie with Canned Filling is a simple yet classy fruit pie, made with flaky packaged pie crusts, blueberry pie filling, and a touch of lemon flavoring from freshly squeezed lemon and lemon zest.

The cornstarch added to the pie filling is my personal hack for thickening the filling so that it doesn’t run when slicing into the pie. 

If you’re looking for a dessert that won’t require many ingredients or cooking processes while still looking extremely inviting then this blueberry pie with can filling is a must-bake!

Serve each slice of blueberry pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream.

What Do I Need To Make Blueberry Pie

Equipment

The affiliate links below will allow you to see the product on Amazon.com. If you purchase one of the items, I will receive a very small commission on the product, which does not increase the price.

  • Rolling Pin
  • 9″ Pie Pan
  • Pie Shield – A pie shield protects the edges of the pie to prevent them from burning.

Ingredients

Below, I discuss the ingredients and possible substitutions if you don’t have a specific ingredient. However, if you are looking for the specific measurements of each ingredient, scroll down to the bottom of this article, just above the comments, for the printable recipe card, which includes all the ingredients and the specific amounts of each one.

For the crust

  • Packaged pie crusts – you’ll need 2 crusts, one for the crust and another to use as the topping of the pie.  NOTE: If you prefer a crumble topping, check out my Blueberry Crumb Bars.

For the filling

  • Blueberry pie filling. I’ve used a 20 oz can of pie filling. You could make this fruit pie with a different pie filling such as raspberry pie filling, strawberry pie filling, or another fruit pie filling. 
  • Lemon juice. Opt for fresh lemon juice, if available, over the bottled variety for the best taste. 
  • Vanilla.
  • Lemon zest.
  • Cornstarch. This helps to thicken the pie filling so that it doesn’t simply spill out when the pie is cut into slices. 

How To Make Blueberry Pie with Canned Filling

  1. Make the Blueberry Filling by combining all of the blueberry filling ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl.
  2. Stir until fully combined.
  3. Unroll the pie crust.
  4. Assemble the Blueberry Pie.
    1. Press one package of pie crust into the bottom of the pie pan.
    2. Spoon the blueberry pie filling into the crust and spread it out.
    3. For a lattice pie crust top, unroll and cut the crust into 1” strips.
  5. Weave 9 strips of crust onto the top of the blueberry filling. Use a fork to press the edges of the crust then cut the excess crust from the top edge of the pan.
  6. Place the pan into the oven to bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 1 hour or until the crust has baked through and is golden brown. Remove the pan from the oven and place it onto a cooling rack to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Recipe Tips

  • Traditional Pie Crust. For a traditional pie crust top, simply unroll the pie crust, place it over the pie filling, press the edges of the pie crust together, and cut the excess off of the top. Use a fork to press holes into the top center of the crust to allow the steam to vent from within the pie. 
  • Double It. You can easily make a double batch of this blueberry pie and store one in the freezer for a convenient dessert later on. 
  • Wrap It. If you have other food or flavoring ingredients in the refrigerator that give off strong odors (such as garlic), I strongly suggest that you wrap your pie tightly with plastic wrap to prevent the blueberry pie from taking on any of those odors. If you don’t, the results may be rather unpleasant! The same applies to any leftover blueberry pie stored in the refrigerator.
  • More Lemon. The amount of lemon juice called for in the recipe results in an incredibly subtle flavor but you can add in extra should you like a stronger lemon taste. 

Variations

  • Fresh Blueberries. While I’ve used a can of pie filling for this dessert, you could add in some fresh blueberries too for a delicious texture. Just make sure that the blueberries have been rinsed and pat dry before adding to the pie filling for baking purposes. 
  • Gluten-Free. For a gluten-free blueberry pie, use gluten-free packaged pie crusts instead of regular flour crusts.
  • Traditional Crust. Create a traditional pie crust top by simply unrolling the pie crust and placing it over the pie filling, pressing some holes in it with a fork for steam release. 
  • From Scratch Pie Crust. Instead of using packaged pie crusts, you could make your own pie crust from a simple dough or from crushed buttery crackers. 
  • Crumb Topping. Add a crumb topping or streusel-like topping to this blueberry pie instead of the sliced pie crust dough. See my Blueberry Crumb Bars for an example.

What To Serve With Blueberry Pie

This blueberry pie with can filling is delicious as is but you could also serve each slice with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and a cup of coffee or a latte.

FAQs

How Should I Store Blueberry Pie?


Blueberry pie with can filling can be stored in an airtight container either at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.  

Can I Freeze Blueberry Pie?


Once completely cool and wrapped with plastic wrap, for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat at 375F in the oven until heated through.

What Kind of Texture Does This Blueberry Pie Have?

This sweet and fruity pie is a combination of flakey packaged pie crust with soft and gooey blueberry pie filling and lemon zest spread throughout.

Can I Make This Blueberry Pie Gluten-Free?

Yes! To make this blueberry pie gluten-free, purchase gluten-free packaged crusts or make your own pie crusts with a gluten-free flour such as Bob’s Red Mill flour. 

How Can I Tell If My Blueberry Pie Is Done?

You should be able to see the blueberry pie filling bubbling through the strips of top pie crust. The pie crust strips on the top should also be golden in color. The pie filling should be bubbling for at least 5 minutes before the entire pie is removed from the oven

    Just curious why there’s no sugar or spices like cinnamon or nutmeg that you typically see in pies? It’s not on the ingredients list on the filling can so I’m dubious of how this will turn out. I’m making it now and might add some anyways but we’ll see.

      Hi Mrs. M,

      Thanks so much for reaching out. This recipe is meant to be an easy, basic blueberry pie recipe with few ingredients since that is what many readers request. Most brands of blueberry pie filling do contain sugar. However, if you would like to add additional sugar, cinnamon or nutmeg, you can always add that.

      Thank you,

      Michele
