Morphology
This is a straightforward compound noun whose meaning is directly composed from 'blueberry' (a small fruit) + 'pie' (a filled pastry); a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it is a pie made with blueberries. The construction is a common, literal naming pattern found cross-linguistically, so the meaning is immediately transparent without prior exposure.
Etymology
Blueberry pie is a very literal name. It puts together blueberry (the small blue fruit) and pie (the baked dessert), so it simply means 'a pie filled with blueberries'.
