Ingredients
- 2 refrigerated pie crusts (or double crust recipe of choice)
- 5 cups fresh blueberries
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 1 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
- ⅛ tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (diced small, optional)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp whole milk
- 1 tbsp coarse sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a sheet tray on the lower rack of the oven to catch any drips. Refrigerate the pie crusts while preparing the filling.
- Prepare the Blueberry Filling: In a large bowl, stir together the fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and sea salt until the blueberries are well-coated. Set aside.
- Roll Out the Second Pie Crust: On a clean surface, roll out the second pie crust. Using a ruler, cut the crust into 1-inch strips. Set the strips aside.
- Assemble the Pie: Remove the bottom pie crust from the fridge and gently press it into a 9-inch deep pie plate, allowing the edges to overlap. Fill the crust with the blueberry mixture. If desired, dot the filling with small pieces of butter.
- Create the Lattice Top: Lay 5 of the pie crust strips parallel to each other over the pie, leaving a small gap between them. Fold every other strip back over itself, then place 1 strip of pie crust across the middle. Unfold the folded strips over the top to form a woven lattice pattern. Repeat with the remaining strips.
- Finish the Edges: Tuck the edges of the lattice strips under the edge of the bottom crust and crimp the edges around the pie.
- Egg Wash and Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Brush this mixture over the exposed pie crust. Sprinkle the top with coarse sugar.
- Bake the Pie: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, cover the pie with a foil tent and reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Continue baking for an additional 35-45 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for 3-4 hours, until the filling has set. Serve as is or with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
