Blueberry Pie Recipe
Description
The Blueberry Pie Recipe showcases fresh blueberries mixed with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt for a filling that thickens during baking. The preparation calls for a bottom pie crust where the filling is spread evenly, topped with butter pieces for added richness. The pie is covered with a top crust that can have decorative vents or a lattice pattern, brushed with an egg wash to promote a golden, shiny surface. Baking at 350°F for about an hour ensures that the crust is crisp and golden while the filling bubbles and sets into a thick, luscious consistency. This pie is best served cool to slice neatly and enjoy the sweet-tart berry flavor complemented by the tender crust.
Ingredients
- 2 pie crust homemade or store bought
- 18 ounces blueberries fresh
- ⅔ cup sugar
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon butter cut into pieces
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Roll the bottom half of the pie crust out to fit your pie dish, and press gently into the dish.
- In a medium bowl, toss the blueberries with the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt. Spread the blueberries in the bottom crust. Sprinkle with the pieces of butter, distributing evenly.
- Roll out the top crust in an even layer, and cut vents as desired, or form into a lattice. Place the top crust on top of the blueberries, cut off the excess crust, and fold or crimp the edges together.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush the egg mixture over the top of the crust, spreading evenly.
- Bake 55-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbling and thick. Let cool completely before slicing and serving.
