Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup of vegetable shortening, chilled and cut into small pieces
  • 3-4 tablespoons of ice water

Filling

  • 5 cups of fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup of cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup of honey
  • 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. To make the crust, combine the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the chilled butter and shortening, and use a pastry blender or your fingers to mix the butter and shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, stirring until the dough comes together in a ball.
  4. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate and trim the edges, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang.
  5. To make the filling, combine the blueberries, cornstarch, honey, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir until the blueberries are coated with the mixture.
  6. Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared crust, and dot the top with small pieces of butter.
  7. Cover the pie with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
  8. Remove the aluminum foil and continue baking for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  9. Remove the blueberry pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
  10. Serve the low sugar blueberry pie warm or at room temperature, with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, if desired.
