Ingredients

• 6 cups Blueberries
• 0.75 cup Granulated Sugar
• 0.25 cup Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
• 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
• 2 discs Pie Crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the blueberries are evenly coated.

Step 3

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of pie crust to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the rolled crust into the dish, pressing it gently to fit.

Step 4

Pour the blueberry mixture into the crust-lined pie dish. Dot the filling with small pieces of unsalted butter.

Step 5

Roll out the second disc of pie crust and use it as the top crust. You can leave it whole or cut it into strips to create a lattice pattern. If using a whole crust, cut a few small slits in the center for ventilation.

Step 6

Seal the edges of the pie by crimping or pressing with a fork. Trim any excess dough.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to make an egg wash. Brush the top crust with the egg wash to give it a golden, glossy finish.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack (about 2 hours) to let the filling set before slicing.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your Perfect Blueberry Pie!
