The Only Blueberry Pie Recipe You Need
Description
This blueberry pie recipe starts by lining a pie pan with one crust and chilling it. Fresh or frozen blueberries are mixed with sugar, cornstarch, salt, lemon zest, and lemon juice to create a filling that thickens during baking. The filling is poured into the crust and dotted with butter for richness.
A second crust is rolled slightly larger than the pie and placed over the filling, sealing the edges and venting slits cut for steam release. Egg wash and sugar sprinkle give the top crust a golden, glossy finish. The pie is baked on a cookie sheet to capture drips, baking on the bottom oven rack to ensure a fully cooked crust and bubbling filling.
The pie offers a balance of sweet-tart blueberries and tender, flaky crust. This classic dessert suits summer gatherings or cozy dinners and pairs well with cream or ice cream.
