Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 recipe for pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

How to Make Blueberry Pie

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt. Gently toss until the blueberries are well coated. Set aside to allow the mixture to macerate for about 15 minutes.
3. Roll out half of your pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.
4. Pour the blueberry filling into the prepared crust, making sure to distribute the berries evenly. Dot the filling with small pieces of butter.
5. Roll out the second half of the pie crust and cut it into strips to create a lattice top. Arrange the strips over the filling in a crisscross pattern. Trim and tuck the edges of the lattice into the bottom crust, then crimp the edges to seal.
6. Brush the lattice crust with the beaten egg to give it a golden finish.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
8. Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before serving. This will help the filling set up.

Tips for the Best Results

• Choose ripe, fresh blueberries for maximum flavor. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before baking.
• Make sure to allow the pie to cool completely to prevent a runny filling.
• For a sweeter pie, adjust the sugar according to your taste preference.
• If the edges of the crust brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.

Easy Variations

• Try mixing in other berries, such as raspberries or blackberries, for a mixed berry pie.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling for a warm, spiced flavor.
• Substitute the sugar with honey or maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
• Whipped cream for added creaminess.
• A dollop of Greek yogurt for a tangy contrast.
• Fresh mint leaves for a refreshing garnish.
