The Most Delicious Blueberry Pie With Claire Saffitz | Dessert Person
The conventional wisdom is that it’s too hot to bake in summertime, but that’s exactly when Claire’s baking goes into overdrive, turning all the seasonal fruit into jammy, buttery, crisp-crusted pies. For a superior ratio of crust to filling, though, give slab pie a try, specifically this Blueberry Slab Pie. The filling comes together quickly using frozen blueberries, so you can make it any time of the year, and it’s baked in Made In’s beautiful and hyper-functional porcelain baking slab, which is thermal-shock resistant and can go from freezer to oven to table. Thanks to Made In, our sponsor for this episode.

Here's a hot take: A regular pie is great, but a slab pie might be even better. Thank you to Made In Cookware for sponsoring today's episode and providing us with this beautiful new baking slab.

“This is a lemon” made me laugh way more than it should have.
-
I particularly enjoyed this video because I prefer when it's just Claire speaking and doing her thing, no distracting questions or comments. (Not taking anything away from the excellent cinematography and editing.) I would 100% listen to a podcast that just consists of Claire talking about anything she wants. Thank you, Claire and team, for all the work you and your team put into these videos for us 🥧
-
Love how right from the start we get a healthy dose of Claire personality that we all love so much ❤ "Will I ever live in a place that has enough fridge space" 😂 Get yourself a walk-in.
-
I just made Claire’s slab pie recipe (sour cherry variation) for a family dinner and it was delicious!
-
Aww what a perfect episode! You can tell Claire was genuinely stoked on that pan🫶🏻
-
It's my first time hearing even seeing a slab pie. A must try.
-
why do i want to try the lemon verbena sugar?? it’s so pretty
-
YES my three favourites- blueberries, summer, and Claire🥺💕 regular pies are great but there’s something so comforting about just having a giant… slab of a slab pie😂 thank you for brightening our week once again!
-
Is this when you know you’ve reached a new level of adulthood? Because the moment I saw that baking slab I was sold! What a beautiful piece of kitchenware and what a delicious looking pie!!!
-
couldn't be happier to see this recipe - been craving this pie since Claire's ig post yesterday! And yay for s9!
-
Wow, I just commented on your instagram that I'd love to see a slab pie recipe. Y'all really listen 😂
-
I adore watching Claire and her passion for baking. And the editing is top notch!
-
props to your art team! I love the animations and illustrations they've made!
-
When there are new episodes of dessert person it just makes my week all that better! Everything I have made from her cookbook has been amazing and I can’t wait to get the new one. Side note: I do wonder how many aprons Claire has because I only have one and it is always dirty!
-
This would be incredibly fun for a Halloween party as a “mummy” pie.
-
Perfect timing!!! I live 20 minutes away from a blueberry farm 😁 I can’t wait to pick my blueberries and make this recipe!!!
-
I made this pie last week and it turned out perfect! I have never been a big pie eater and had never tried making pie before but this recipe was amazing! The lemon/sugar/fruit/warm spices are perfectly balanced. I was delighted that this video came out today & I look forward to making this recipe again and again!
-
I love when you pull out a ruler to measure your dough. It makes my engineering and OCD heart happy ❤️
-
This looks beautiful and delicious!!
