Blueberry pie filling:
Place the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt, lemon juice, and water in a saucepan over medium heat.
Cook, stirring frequently until the dry ingredients have dissolved.

Cook, stirring occasionally until a thickened syrup has formed from the liquid and the blueberries are cooked through.
Remove from heat and cool completely to room temperature.

📝Variations
Do you want to change up this sweet dip recipe and make it your own? Here are some ways that you can do that!
Add in some other fruit! This recipe is delicious with raspberries, blackberries, or even diced strawberries mixed in with the blueberries.
Try using a different type of yogurt. I like to use plain Greek yogurt in this recipe, but you could also use vanilla or even a flavored yogurt. Just keep in mind that the flavor of the yogurt will change the flavor of the dip, so make sure to taste it before adding any additional sweetener.
Use a different type of cream cheese. I like to use regular cream cheese in this recipe, but you could also use low-fat or even fat-free. Just keep in mind that the lower the fat content, the less rich and creamy the dip will be.

💭 Tips
- Don’t forget to taste the dip as you are making it and add more sweetener if needed. The amount of sweetness you’ll need will depend on the type of yogurt you use and your personal preference.
- If you want a thicker dip, use less yogurt. If you want a thinner dip, use more yogurt.
- If you find that the dip is too thick, you can thin it out with a little milk or heavy cream.
- If the dip is too sweet for your taste, add a little more lemon juice to balance it out.
- I like to use a glass or clear serving dish, but you can you any type of dish that you have on hand.

Notes
- The blueberry pie filling will thicken upon cooling. I used frozen wild blueberries, which contribute to a much more smooth, but dense syrup upon cooking and cooling. If using fresh blueberries, you may want to mash some of the berries while cooking to bring out the juices and allow the flavors to meld.
- You can substitute a tablespoon of flour instead of cornstarch for thickening if needed. This dip is best eaten immediately after serving but will last for 24 hours in the fridge when covered or stored in an airtight container.
