Ingredients

  • 1 double pie crust 9-inch, store-bought or homemade
  • 5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries about 600 g
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar 150 g
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed (50 g)
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch 40 g or 45 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon optional
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter cut into small pieces
  • 1 large egg + 1 tbsp milk egg wash
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and place a sheet pan on a lower rack to catch drips.
  • Roll out one pie crust and fit into a 9-inch pie dish; trim excess and chill for about 15 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine blueberries, granulated and brown sugars, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and cinnamon; toss gently to coat.
  • Pour the blueberry mixture into the chilled crust and dot the filling evenly with small pieces of butter.
  • Roll out the second crust and cut into 1-inch strips for a lattice top (or use a whole top crust); brush the edges of the bottom crust with egg wash.
  • Weave the lattice strips over the filling or place the top crust and cut vents; crimp edges to seal and flute as desired.
  • Brush the entire top with egg wash and sprinkle a little sugar for sparkle.
  • Tent the pie with foil for the first 20 minutes to prevent excessive browning.
  • Bake on the preheated lower rack 45–55 minutes total, removing the foil for the final 20 minutes, until the filling bubbles and the crust is golden.
  • Cool the pie on a wire rack at least 2 hours to let the filling set before slicing; serve warm or at room temperature.
