Rustic pies like this Rustic Blueberry Apple Pie are an easy way to have a dessert made with fresh fruit without all the fuss.
Fresh blueberries. Fresh apples. A crisp crust.
Pies are great, but rustic pies are great AND easy. There’s no worrying about arranging the crust just right in the pan and no crimping or stretching.
Are you familiar with the rustic style of pies? Sometimes called galettes, they don’t require any special techniques or equipment to make.
Instead, you simply lay out the uncooked pie crust on a parchment-lined baking sheet, mix up the pie filling and pile it on. Then the edges of the pie crust are folded in and you’re done. You can be as neat or rough as you want with the folding, as long as you create a lip to catch the pie filling.
Now, you’re ready to bake!
And when the pie finishes baking, slice it as normal and dig in.
Seriously, making this Rustic Blueberry Apple Pie couldn’t be easier. But don’t take my word for it. Try it yourself.

Rustic Blueberry Apple Pie
Rustic pies, sometimes called galettes, are an easy
way to enjoy pie without the extra prep of properly forming a pie crust. This
one is filled with blueberries and apples—a scrumptious fruit combination.
Serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you like.
Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated pie crust
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 1 Granny smith apple, diced
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the pie crust on the baking sheet.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the blueberries, apple, sugar, and cornstarch. Spread in the center of the pie crust. Fold the edges of the pie crust up and around the filling.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the fruit is cooked and the crust is golden brown.
Notes
Budget Trick: No plans to use the second pie crust? Freeze it for later. It will last about 4
to 6 months in the freezer.

I made this and it was nice. I used a 12-inch round of pie dough and, folded, I ended up with an 8-inch galette. It tastes good and I served it with caramel ice cream.

I wish we could keep blueberries around long enough to make baked goods

@Kate, Blueberries freeze really well. I'm using the ones I picked from my bushes last Spring.
