Fresh blueberry pie makes us want to sit on the back porch and enjoy the warm summer breeze. It's the perfect use for fresh summer blueberries, but is also a great way to cover up frozen blueberries. Once everything is cooked down you end up with a sweet, jammy filling that we find difficult to not eat before it goes into the pie crust! Use our homemade pie crust for a flaky, buttery crust that makes this pie irresistible.

Prep Time:: 30 mins
Total Time:: 5 hrs 30 mins

Ingredients

5 c.
blueberries, rinsed, and divided
Zest and juice of 1 large lemon
1/3 c.
granulated sugar
1/2 tsp.
kosher salt
1/4 tsp.
nutmeg
2 tbsp.
cornstarch
2 tbsp.
water
2
batches pie crust, made and chilled at least 2 hours
Egg wash, for brushing
Demarara sugar, for sprinkle

Directions

1. Step 1 Cook 2 cups blueberries with lemon juice and zest, sugar, salt, and nutmeg for 5 minutes.
2. Step 2In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water, then add saucepan and cook 1 minute more. Remove from heat and add remaining 3 cups blueberries. Let cool while rolling out pie crust.
3. Step 3Preheat oven to 400° with a large baking sheet on middle rack. Take one batch of pie crust out of the fridge and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to make it easier to roll out.
4. Step 4Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll pie crust into a 13” circle. Place crust over a shallow 9” pie plate and lightly press it in making sure the dough has minimal gaps between the pan. Trim crust to a 1” overhang, then tuck dough under itself and crimp crust.
5. Step 5Roll second disc of pie crust on a lightly floured surface into a 10” circle. Cut into 1 ½” thick strips.
6. Step 6Pour blueberry filling into pie crust and place pie crust strips into a lattice over filling. Trim ends as needed and press into bottom crust. Place into freezer for 15 minutes.
7. Step 7Brush crust with egg wash and sprinkle with Demerara sugar. Place on preheated baking sheet and bake until golden and filling is bubbly, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool 2 hours before slicing.
