Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 package (2 crusts) refrigerated pie crusts or homemade pie dough
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a baking sheet on the lower rack to catch drips.
- In a large bowl, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Toss until the berries are evenly coated.
- Line a 9-inch pie pan with one of the crusts. Pour the blueberry mixture into the crust and dot with butter pieces.
- Top with the second crust, either as a full cover with slits or in a lattice pattern. Seal and crimp the edges.
- Brush the top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if using.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. Cover the edges with foil if they brown too quickly.
- Let the pie cool for at least 3 hours before slicing to allow the filling to set.
Notes
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before mixing to avoid excess moisture.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before cutting for clean slices.
- Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
