Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups fresh blueberries
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 package (14 oz) refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade if preferred)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
How to Make Blueberry Pie
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Gently toss to coat the blueberries evenly. Set aside.
- Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate. Leave the edges hanging over the sides.
- Pour the blueberry mixture into the crust and dot with small pieces of butter.
- Roll out the second pie crust and cut it into strips to create a lattice top. Weave the strips over the filling, trimming excess crust as needed. Crimp the edges to seal.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Brush the egg wash over the lattice crust for a beautiful golden finish.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours before slicing. This allows the filling to set.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor; if using frozen, thaw and drain them first.
- For a sweeter pie, adjust the sugar to taste.
- Don’t skip the egg wash; it gives the crust that beautiful, shiny finish.
- Allow the pie to cool completely for perfect slices.
Easy Variations
- Add a tablespoon of almond extract for a different flavor profile.
- Mix in a cup of sliced strawberries or raspberries for a mixed berry pie.
- Substitute the cornstarch with flour if you prefer a thicker filling.
What to Serve With It
- Vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
- Whipped cream for a light and fluffy addition.
- A scoop of yogurt for a tangy contrast.
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftover pie in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through.
