Best Fresh Blueberry Pie Recipe for A Healthy Holiday Dessert
If you are a huge fan of fresh blueberries pie, then here’s an easy recipe that cooks in minutes and takes an hour of cooling time in the fridge. While you are getting ready for your dinner gathering, your dessert will be patiently waiting for you.
For the fans of fresh berries, check out this Mixed Berry Tarts dessert.
I love fresh berries and do my best to incorporate them into our daily meals. Be it smoothies, salads or desserts, the berries that are in-season are the best! My all-time favorites are blueberries. I freeze them and then use the tiny frozen delights as my snacks.
How to make blueberry pie with fresh berries:
The recipe for a blueberry pie is super easy. You can opt for a store-bought pie crust or make your own. If you are in a hurry and need your dessert quickly, then choose the pie dough from the store.
This is my most favorite dessert among my guests Blueberry Mini Cheesecakes with Raspberry Sauce.
Spread and cut the crust according to your pie baking dish. Use a fork to pinch the edge of the pie. It will look like a homemade crust.
While the pie crust is baking in the oven, you will prepare your fresh blueberry pie filling. There’s a delicious trick to keep the berries together in a pie by using a heated apricot preserve. Don’t worry that it will give a weird taste to blueberries. In fact, you will hardly notice it’s there!
What makes this blueberry pie filling recipe unique is its combination with the mascarpone cheese. Actually, I use equal amounts of cream cheese and mascarpone cheese to give the pie a creamy, but light flavor.
When you combine add mascarpone and blueberry filling to the baked and cooled pie crust, place this holiday dessert into the refrigerator for at least an hour to cool and to taste heavenly.
Why I Use Coconut Sugar in My Baking and Cooking
There are two great reasons to use Coconut Sugar in your baking and cooking overall.
First, coconut sugar is a Low Glycemic food. It simply means that it prevents high up and down spikes in your blood sugar. With that, you will have less cravings and reaching out to satisfy them with junk food options.
Second, it tastes heavenly and does not alter any recipe’s flavor. But some brands offer more delicious coconut sugar than others. Here are my favorites for the Organic, Gluten Free, Non-GMO options (as an Amazon affiliate I earn from qualifying purchases, thank you):
- Organic Coconut Sugar from Anthony’s
- Another options is from Jans, and another is
- Viva Naturals coconut sugar

Aisasami,
It should be in Japan! It is one of the ingredients with a low glycemic index. Check out in your specialty stores for sure!
It’s been available on the market for at least 10 years.

I love blueberries in desserts, such as muffins or cheesecakes. I love that you have literally filled that pie only with blueberries. It must be so delicious.
Joanna,
This pie is one of my favorites, because it preserves the taste of fresh berries. The apricot preserve just coats the berries to keep them together, without interfering with the taste. And mascarpone is a delicious add-on to the recipe!
This is really amazing! Everyone at my house will love it!
Toni,
You are my guru chef! Thank you for your compliment.
I love blueberry everything and my kids are obsessed with blueberry pie. This looks amazing, I totally want to eat this now.

Eileen,
First, please take care and my thoughts of healing are going out to your hubby.
Second, this recipe has FRESH blueberries. Uncooked, they preserve the maximum nutrients.
In addition, I have used COCONUT sugar, which a LOW Glycemic food. That means that it does not give huge up and down spikes in blood sugar and keeps cravings at bay!
Make it when you can and enjoy it as a family!
Oh my goodness! I want this pie right now! It’s my favorite!
Catalina,
So glad to hear it from you, my awesome Master Chef!
I have a lot of learning to do from you!
I love how the blueberries are still intact! That looks absolutely delicious. I think this would be perfect to let the kids help with baking.
Alicia,
The kids would be perfect as helpers! Mine actually can make it without me now.
This is indeed the best blueberry recipe. It is so good in a pie and maybe put some strawberries too! Love this!
Ruth,
It’s up to you to add fresh strawberries. It would add some acidity to the pie, but the taste won’t suffer! Go for it!
i love blueberries. we are having our thanksgiving this coming week and i’m looking for a dessert. i may just make this. looks delish!
Katrina,
I do hope you will LOVE this pie. Fresh and very easy to make. Add more mascarpone, if you need it to be a bit creamier.
How delicious is this pie recipe! I love anything that involves fresh fruit.
Fatima,
I explore the desserts and regular recipes where I can add the fruit to boost the nutrition and, actually, change the taste a bit, too.
My mouth is watering now! I love any type of pie but this looks absolutely incredible. Definitely need to try.

That sounds really good. I’ve never heard of coconut sugar before. Very cool!
Stacie,
The Coconut sugar is my favorite to sweeten with!
You see, it has a low Glycemic Index, which means the blood sugar rises and falls slowly – thus, it doesn’t give huge up and down spikes in person’s huge cravings.
Try it! There are some brands that are better than others. Test out and see what you love most.
