kcalIngredients
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cubed
6–8 tablespoons ice water
5 cups fresh blueberries
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional)
Directions
- Prepare the crust: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until dough comes together. Divide dough in half, flatten into disks, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, gently mix blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cinnamon (if using).
- Roll out one dough disk on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer to the dish.
- Pour blueberry filling into the crust-lined pie dish.
- Roll out the second dough disk and place it over the filling. Trim excess dough and crimp edges to seal. Cut slits on top to vent steam.
- Brush the top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 30–35 minutes, or until crust is golden and filling bubbles.
- Cool completely before serving to allow filling to set.
Notes
- For a decorative touch, cut dough into shapes (like leaves or stars) for the top crust.
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, do not thaw before baking.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
