Easy Blueberry Pie

2 1/2 cups blueberries
1 cup sugar
3 tbsp quick cooking tapioca
1/2 tsp cinnamon
pastry for a 2 crust pie
~ 2 tbsp butter

The best way to take all the work out of making a pie...buy them premade in the frozen section. This is especially nice for hot days when you dont want the oven on long enough to cook both crust and pie. I have an excellent crust recipe if folks want it, but for this one I went premade.


Combine blueberries, sugar, tapioca, and cinnamon in a large bowl. toss lightly to mix.
Pour into frozen crust.
Sprinkle with chunks of the hard butter. Do not melt it.
Take second crust, remove carefully from foil pan and place over top of filled crust. Pinch down the edges, making sure they do pinch together or you will get leaks all over. Cut top crust in a few places.
Bake at 425 for 40 minutes or until crust is just getting overdone along the very edge and the rest is a nice golden brown.

This was ridiculously easy and smells like heaven as it bakes.
You can adjust the sugar on this one to taste. You can add as much as 1 1/4 cup sugar but that gets a little sweet. Feel free to use less!
