  • 5 cups fresh blueberries (preferably wild)

  • Yield: 1 9-inch pie

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Press 1 pie crust into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan; set aside.
  • Stir together blueberries, sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add almond extract; stir to coat. Pour blueberry mixture into the prepared pie crust.
  • Dot blueberry mixture with butter pieces. Top with second pie crust, crimping the edges together to seal. Brush top crust with milk. Use a knife to cut slits into the top crust for steam to escape while baking. Wrap the edges of the pie with aluminum foil to avoid burning.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil; continue baking until filling is bubbling and crust is browned, 20 to 25 more minutes. Cool before serving.
