Ingredients

• 5 cups Fresh or frozen wild blueberries
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 discs Pie dough (homemade or store-bought)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 tablespoon Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a baking sheet on the middle rack to catch any potential drips.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly coated and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 3

Roll out one pie dough disc on a lightly floured surface to about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides.

Step 4

Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly. Dot the filling with small pieces of butter.

Step 5

Roll out the second pie dough disc to about the same size. Place it over the filling as a full crust or cut it into strips to create a lattice-top design.

Step 6

Trim any excess dough from the edges and crimp the crust edges together to seal. If using a full crust, cut a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

Step 7

In a small bowl, beat the egg with the water to make an egg wash. Brush the top crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.

Step 8

Place the pie on the preheated baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 30 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 2-3 hours to allow the filling to set.

Step 10

Slice and serve your ‘I Miss Bar Harbor Blueberry Pie’ as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
