Ingredients

• 1 whole Pie crust (pre-made or homemade)
• 2 cups Fresh blueberries
• 3 medium Ripe bananas
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg (for egg wash, optional)
• 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges if necessary and flute or crimp the edges. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice.

Step 4

Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until it thickens and the blueberries start to burst, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

Step 6

Layer the banana slices evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie crust.

Step 7

Pour the blueberry mixture over the bananas, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Dot the top of the blueberry filling with small pieces of unsalted butter.

Step 9

If desired, prepare an egg wash by whisking together the egg and water in a small bowl.

Step 10

Brush the edges of the crust with the egg wash for a golden, glossy finish.

Step 11

Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 40–50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Serve the pie warm or at room temperature. Optional: Top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
