Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
- 1 double pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Roll out the bottom pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim edges as needed.
- Pour the blueberry mixture into the crust and dot with pieces of butter.
- Roll out the top crust and place over the filling. Trim and crimp edges to seal. Cut small slits for steam or create a lattice top.
- Whisk egg and milk to make egg wash and brush over the top crust.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and filling is bubbling. Cover the edges with foil if they brown too quickly.
- Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to allow the filling to set.
Notes
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before mixing with other ingredients.
- The pie can be stored at room temperature for 1 day or refrigerated for up to 4 days.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
