Ingredients

• 4 cups Fresh or frozen Alaskan blueberries
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 rounds Pie crust dough (homemade or store-bought)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until the berries are evenly coated and the mixture is well-combined.

Step 3

Roll out one round of pie crust dough and place it into a 9-inch pie pan, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.

Step 4

Pour the blueberry filling into the prepared pie crust. Dot the top of the filling with small pieces of the unsalted butter.

Step 5

Roll out the second round of pie crust dough and place it over the filling. You can either keep it as a full crust, cut it into strips to create a lattice design, or use decorative cutters for a patterned design.

Step 6

Trim and seal the edges of the top and bottom crusts together, then crimp the edges for a decorative finish. If using a full crust, cut a few slits into the top to let steam escape while baking.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top crust to give it a golden, glossy finish.

Step 8

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any spills, then bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set.

Step 10

Slice and serve the pie at room temperature or slightly warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
