Blueberry pie
Baked pastry with fruit filling
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blueberry pie is a pie with a blueberry filling. Blueberry pie is readily made because it does not require pitting or peeling of fruit. It usually has a top and bottom crust. The top crust can be circular, but the pie can also have a crumble crust or no top crust. Blueberry pies are often eaten in the summertime when blueberries are in season in the Northern Hemisphere.[3]

History
Blueberries, both wild ('lowbush') and cultivated ('highbush'), are native to North America. Blueberry pie was first eaten by early American settlers[4] and later the food spread to the rest of the world. A similar earlier pie from England are prepared with bilberries which are known as European Blueberries . It remains a popular dessert in the United States and Canada. Blueberry pie made with wild Maine blueberries is the official state dessert of the U.S. state of Maine.[5] Berry pie, including with blueberries, was documented as early as 1872 in the Appledore Cook Book.[6]
