Blueberry Pie
Description
This Blueberry Pie starts by lightly coating fresh blueberries with a mixture of sugar, cornstarch, salt, and cinnamon, which helps thicken the fruit juices during baking and adds subtle spice. The preparation involves placing this filling into a single crust-lined pie dish, dotting with unsalted butter to add richness to the filling.
The top crust is crafted by cutting the second pie crust into strips and weaving them into a lattice pattern, allowing steam to escape while adding a decorative element. An egg wash made from beaten egg and water is brushed over the crust, then sprinkled with sanding sugar, creating a shiny and slightly crunchy surface.
Baking the pie at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 50 minutes produces a golden brown crust with a bubbling berry filling. This pie makes a classic dessert showcasing fresh fruit in a balanced sweet-tart slice, ideal for serving after a meal or during gatherings.
