Canned Blueberry Pie

Lately I've been craving pie, so I decided I'd make a blueberry pie.  The crust and pie filling were not made from scratch, but rather with a canned pie filling which I purchased from Wal-Mart (the Great Value Brand), and with one of those already-made pie crust, which I purchased from Aldi's.  I place a pie shield over the pies crust before baking the pie, but this time I forgot to do that, and yet my pie crust turned out perfect and not too dark.  The end results, a quick and delicious tasting pie!  Not made from scratch, but still quite delicious!



Canned Blueberry Pie 

2 (21-oz.) cans blueberry pie filling (See *Note)

1 (15-oz.) pkg. 2-already made pie crusts

1 teaspoon all-purpose flour

wax paper (To unroll pie dough onto)

mini-cookie cutters

Additional granulated sugar (To sprinkle on top of the pie crust.)

1 (14-inch) circular shaped pizza tin

1 (10-1/2 inch) pie shield (optional use) But I used one.  As it helps to prevent the pie crust from getting too dark when baking in the oven.


1.)  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2.)  Remove both pie crusts from the pkg.  Let pie crusts set on kitchen counter for 20 minutes before using.

3.)  Remove one of the crusts from the plastic wrap.  Unroll the pie crust and place it on a sheet of wax paper.  Sprinkle the teaspoon of flour over the crust.  Using your hand, lightly spread the flour over the entire crust.  Place the pie crust, floured side down, inside a 9-inch pie pan.  Add both cans of pie filling into the pie pan.

4.)  Unroll the remaining pie crust onto the sheet of wax paper.  Using desired shaped mini cookie cutters, cut-out and remove some of the dough, near the center of the pie crust.  Set cut-out pie dough aside.

5.)  Top the pie with the remaining pie crust.  Place the cut-out pie dough on top the pie crust.  Sprinkle the pie dough with a bit of the granulated sugar.  Place pie pan on top the 14-inch pizza tin before placing in oven.  If desired, place the pie shield evenly on top of the pie, before baking.  Bake the pie for 1-hour in a 350 degree oven.

6.) *Note: This is the already made pie crust I use, whenever I make my pies. I purchase mine from Aldi's, and I much prefer it over the Pillsbury Pie Crust.  Also, for this recipe, you can use another canned pie filling, such as... cherry, peach, raspberry or strawberry.

Additional Note: January 13th 2023.  Now-a-days, I see store bought pie crust have been reduced to (14.1-oz.).  So, my husband purchased a Pillsbury Pie Crust.  I was surprised that it made a decent pie crust.  I haven't had a Blueberry Pie for quite some time, and this pie was quite delicious!
