Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 6 cups Fresh blueberries
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 None Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the crust: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Cut in the cold unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape them into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 5

Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Mix until well-coated and set aside.

Step 6

Roll out one disk of dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Transfer the rolled-out dough to the pie pan and trim any excess hanging over the edges.

Step 7

Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Roll out the second disk of dough to create a top crust. Cover the pie with this crust, then trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal.

Step 9

Cut several small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

Optional: Whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush this mixture over the top crust for a golden finish.

Step 11

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 12

Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for an additional 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 13

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 before serving.
