Blueberry Pie

Ingredients

• 1 pie crust (both top and bottom)
• 6 cups fresh blueberries
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoon butter (cut into small pieces)
• 1 egg (beaten (for egg wash))

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare The Filling:: In a large bowl, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and ground cinnamon. Gently mix until the blueberries are evenly coated.

2. 2

   Assemble The Pie:: Preheat your oven to 425°F (200°C). Roll out one portion of your pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the blueberry filling into the crust, spreading it out evenly. Dot the filling with small pieces of butter.

3. 3

   Top with crust:: Roll out the second portion of your pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim any excess dough, and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

4. 4

   Bake The Pie:: Brush the top crust with the beaten egg. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 25 minutes 425°F (200°C), then reduce the heat to 375℉ and bake for another 45-55 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the edges of the pie gets too brown, wrap them with aluminum foil to avoid them getting burnt.

5. 5

   Cool and Serve:: Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
