    Hey Shandy,
    I wish I could say so many minutes but I never do it by time. Because it all depends on amount of berries, size of pan etc. But I can tell by the color of the crust a nice golden like a normal blueberry pie and the juices are bubbling in the center dark blue and almost transparent again like a regular pie.By all means foil if the crust is getting too brown.

    Hi, I made this last night and it was Great but I have a question. I used a 7 x 11 baking dish and I have never made a three crusted dessert so I had no idea what done was at 350 degrees? I baked it for 40 minutes at 350 after the 15 minutes at 425 degrees. I put foil over the top after 20 minutes at the 350 degree part. Could you give me a suggestion as to what it should look like to know when it is done?

    It was just what my family has always called it. Maybe because the middle crust soaks up the juices from the berries like a sponge and swells in the process. My Mom never added any thickener to the berries either. The old fashioned down East pie. I add a bit to mine but still on the runny side otherwise the juice doesn't soak into that middle crust as well.I never remember a crust being left behind. LOL
