ISO help w/blueberry pie thickener

[julesthegolfer]

Which is better as a thickener for blueberry pie filling- flour, cornstarch, or tapioca?
Thanks!

I've been making the blueberry pie recipe from America's Test Kitchen. They use instant tapioca and a Granny Smith apple for its natural pectin.

I always seem to agree with Andy. The best blueberry pie I ever made was with fresh, wild, Michigan blueberries, and the recipe from the side of a tapioca starch box. Pectin from apple skins also helps. But you must use a tried and true recipe as it's easy to make the filling too thick, or too thin. Sorry I don't have a recipe.
