Print Recipe

Bake a delicious homemade blueberry pie with a perfectly flaky crust and a sweet, juicy berry filling. This classic summer dessert is sure to become a family favorite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 recipe for double pie crust
  • 6 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your double pie crust according to your favorite recipe. Chill one disk while you prepare the filling.
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss the blueberries with granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, cinnamon, and salt until evenly coated.
  3. Line a 9-inch pie plate with the chilled pie crust. Trim and crimp the edges as desired.
  4. Pour the blueberry filling into the crust-lined pie plate. Dot the top of the filling with the small pieces of butter.
  5. Place the second disk of pie crust over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Cut vents in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  6. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes.
  8. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for another 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust edges start to brown too quickly, you can loosely cover them with aluminum foil.
  9. Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2-3 hours before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set properly.

Notes

  • Using frozen blueberries will result in a slightly more liquid filling, so ensure you use the full amount of cornstarch.
  • For an extra flaky crust, ensure your butter and water are very cold when making your pie dough.
  • Allowing the pie to cool completely is crucial for the filling to set. Patience will be rewarded!
