Description
A classic American dessert with a buttery, flaky double crust and a vibrant blueberry filling. Bright citrus and vanilla enhance the natural sweetness, while cornstarch ensures a perfect jammy texture.
Ingredients
1 double pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
5 cups fresh blueberries
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 egg (for egg wash)
1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) on a baking sheet or pizza stone
Roll out bottom crust and place in a 9-inch pie dish
In a large bowl, toss blueberries with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest
Add 2 tablespoons of the blueberry mixture to the crust to prevent sogginess
Add remaining blueberry mixture, smoothing the surface
Roll out top crust and place over filling, crimping edges
Cut 5 steam vents in the top crust
Mix egg with milk and brush over top crust
Reduce oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake for 50–60 minutes until golden and bubbling
Notes
Fresh blueberries yield the best flavor and texture
For a crisper crust, chill assembled pie in fridge for 30 minutes before baking
If using frozen blueberries, remove excess moisture before adding to sugar mixture
