Crustless Blueberry Pie
Crustless Blueberry Pie is a thick, dense batter baked with fresh blueberries flavored by vanilla and almond extracts. Without a traditional crust, it forms a soft, almost cake-like texture studded with juicy berry pockets. The sugar sprinkled on top caramelizes during baking, adding a slight crispness at the edges. This style of pie offers a fruity dessert that highlights blueberries with a custardy, tender interior rather than flaky pastry.

Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar divided, plus 2 tablespoons
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 egg large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or to taste
- ½ to 1 teaspoon almond extract or to taste
- 2 cups blueberries divided (I have only made with fresh and cannot comment on using frozen, plus 1/4 cup fresh
Instructions
- 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.
- Ad 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.
- 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.

Notes
- For a gooier center, bake around 35 minutes and monitor closely as ovens and berries differ.
- Use fresh blueberries for best results; frozen berries have not been tested in this recipe.
