Ingredients

• 4 cups Fresh huckleberries
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 discs Pie dough (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 tablespoon Coarse sugar for topping (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out one disc of pie dough on a floured surface to about 12 inches in diameter. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie pan, letting the excess hang over the edges. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the huckleberries, granulated sugar, flour, cornstarch, salt, and lemon juice. Stir until the dry ingredients coat the berries evenly.

Step 4

Pour the berry mixture into the chilled pie crust, spreading it out evenly. Dot the top with pieces of unsalted butter.

Step 5

Roll out the second disc of pie dough to the same diameter as the first. Place it over the filling, or cut it into strips to create a lattice top. Trim any excess dough from the edges and crimp to seal the top and bottom crusts together.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush this mixture over the top crust or lattice. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.

Step 7

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any juices that may overflow. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack, about 2-3 hours, to let the filling set.

Step 9

Slice and serve as is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
