I absolutely adore baking my Blueberry Pie, especially when summer rolls around and fresh blueberries are in abundance. There’s something so comforting about the combination of juicy blueberries and a touch of lemon, all encased in a buttery, flaky crust. This pie is a breeze to make and never fails to bring a smile to everyone’s face. In a large bowl, combine 6 cups of fresh blueberries, ½ cup of granulated sugar, ¼ cup of brown sugar, ¼ cup of cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Gently mix until the blueberries are evenly coated. Tip: Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the sugars to dissolve and meld with the berries. Preheat your oven to 425°F (200°C). Roll out one portion of your pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the blueberry filling into the crust, spreading it out evenly. Dot the filling with 2 tablespoons of small butter pieces. Tip: Butter adds richness and flavor to the filling. Roll out the second portion of your pie crust and place it over the filling. Alternatively, you can create a lattice top by cutting the dough into strips and weaving them over the filling. Trim any excess dough, and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the solid top crust to allow steam to escape. Tip: Crimping the edges helps seal in the filling and prevents leaks, while a lattice top adds a beautiful, decorative touch. Brush the top crust with a beaten egg to give the pie a beautiful golden-brown finish. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 25 minutes at 425°F (200°C). Then, reduce the heat to 375°F (190°C) and bake for another 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. Tip: If the edges of the pie start to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
