When I bake fruit filled pies such as Blueberry, after adding the top crust as well as cutting slits in the top crust, I take a piece of tube type pasta and insert it in the center of my pie crust. This will let the steam out and keep the filling in the pie.,

Great tip.Thanks.
That's a cool idea!
I do this but also add a thin layer of coarse chrushed cornflakes to the bottom crust before adding the filling. This helps the bottom by cutting the sogginess.
