Blueberry Pie

A blueberry pie is a very simple thing – some blueberries and sugar, mixed with a bit of lemon juice and butter for acidity and richness. However, with the proper crust, especially a delicate lattice crust, it becomes even better.

Crunchy, sweet and just a little bit tart, a slice of blueberry pie makes everything better.

Blueberry Pie Ingredients

Make sure you look at the recipe card at the very bottom for the exact amounts, as there are a few fiddly ingredients here.

• Fresh blueberries

• White sugar

• ground cinnamon

• Nutmeg

• Cornstarch

• Lemon juice

• Salted butter

• Pie crust

• Egg Wash

How To Make Blueberry Pie

• Whisk together the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cornstarch

• Sprinkle the mixture over the blueberries in a large bowl, tossing evenly

• Take a pastry disk and place on a floured work surface

• Roll out using a rolling pin until it is 2 inches wider than your pie plate

• Carefully place into your pie plate and pour in the berry mixture

• Sprinkle it with the lemon juice and dot with butter cubes

• Roll out another pastry disk, cutting it into ¾ inch wide strips to make a lattice top

• Make an egg wash and brush it over the top of the pie crust and then dust with sugar

• Bake at 375 Fahrenheit for about 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling

How To Roll Out Your Pastry Dough Properly

Trying to roll out the perfect amount of pastry dough for your pie can be really tricky. If you aren’t 100% confident you know what you are doing. It might sound strange, but the dough can smell fear – don’t give in to it, and roll with confidence.

Don’t be afraid to dust the dough and the countertop with plenty of flour to ensure it doesn’t stick. Even better, give it a turn every two rolls to avoid it sticking too badly and to help the dough roll out more evenly.

Once it is all rolled out into the perfect size, don’t worry about trying to get it into the pie plate. Simply fold it into a half-circle, and then fold again, and then unfold into your pie dish. This gives you the necessary amount of dough to be able to hold onto it without tearing and makes it super easy to unroll.

You could also just roll it up on a rolling pin and unroll it over your pie plate, as long as you really intensely dust it with flour to avoid any sticking.

How To Prevent Your Pie From Burning

No one likes a burnt pie, and with this blueberry pie, you really want to avoid it. There are a lot of delicate flavors that would be easily overwhelmed any burning, so make sure you keep an eye on it.

The one main risk is that your lattice crust starts to get too golden brown before the filling is properly bubbling. If that starts to happen, take your pie out and tend it with some tin foil. This will stop the crust from continuing to cook but still let your filling finish cooking properly.
