Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 package (14 oz) refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade pie crust)
- 1 egg, beaten (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 mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of blueberries, 3/4 cup of sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt. Gently toss to coat the blueberries without crushing them. Set aside to let the mixture thicken while you prepare the crust.
- Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan, leaving some overhang. 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 for the lattice top. Lay half of the strips across the pie in one direction, then fold back every other strip to create a lattice pattern. Repeat with the remaining strips in the opposite direction.
- Trim the excess crust from the edges and crimp to seal. Brush the lattice top with the beaten egg mixed with milk for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to allow the filling to set.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Don’t skip the cooling time; it helps the filling thicken and makes for cleaner slices.
- If you prefer a sweeter pie, adjust the sugar to your taste.
- For a touch of nostalgia, add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the blueberry filling.
Easy Variations
- Substitute half of the blueberries with raspberries or blackberries for a mixed berry pie.
- Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the blueberry mixture for extra depth of flavor.
- For a fun twist, incorporate a tablespoon of almond extract for a nutty undertone.
What to Serve With It
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic pairing.
- A dollop of crème fraîche for a slightly tangy contrast.
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish to elevate the presentation.
Storage and Reheating
Store leftover pie in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also enjoy it cold!
