Calories: 235
Ingredients
- 1 double pie crust homemade or store bought
- 5 Tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ cup sugar if berries are tart, increase to ⅔ cup
- 1 Tablespoon lemon zest zest of one lemon, optional
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 5 cups blueberries
- 1 Tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon butter cut into small pieces
- 1 Tablespoon milk
- ½ Tablespoon coarse sugar optional garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Place pie plate on a parchment lined baking tray.
- Add bottom crust to pie plate.
- In a large bowl, mix together cornstarch, sugar, zest if using, and cinnamon. Add blueberries and lemon juice and mix to combine. Some berries may get crushed.
- Add blueberry mixture to pie crust. Dot with butter pieces.
- Cut slits or design in second pie crust (which allows steam to escape), or if preferred, create a lattice top. Place on top of the pie. Roll and crimp edges of pie crusts to seal, creating a pattern if desired (trim edges if needed).
- Carefully brush the entire pie crust top with milk. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired. Bake 50-60 minutes, until berries are bubbling and slightly thickened (internal temperature should reach 200°F). After about 25-30 minutes, and if the top starts to get browned, loosely tent with foil for the remainder of baking time.
- Cool completely on a cooling rack (3-4 hours) before cutting and serving. Slice and serve with ice cream or whipped cream!
Notes
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator or at room temperature for up to 2 days.
