Indulge in the timeless charm of a classic Blueberry Pie, perfectly sized for a 10-inch pie dish and bursting with the vibrant flavors of juicy, fresh blueberries. This homemade dessert starts with a buttery, flaky crust made from scratch, lovingly enveloping a sweet-tart blueberry filling enhanced with a touch of lemon juice and zest for a refreshing zing. The top crust can be customized to your likingβchoose between a traditional solid cover or a stunning lattice design, finished with a golden egg wash and a sprinkle of coarse sugar for an irresistible sparkle and crunch. With just 30 minutes of prep and a bake time of under an hour, this pie is the perfect centerpiece for any gathering or as a comforting treat for your family. Serve it slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the ultimate dessert experience.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing just until the dough comes together.
Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
In another large bowl, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir gently to coat the blueberries. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
On a floured surface, roll out one chilled dough disk into a 12-inch circle. Fit it into a 10-inch pie dish, leaving a slight overhang.
Pour the blueberry filling into the prepared pie crust. Dot the filling with the optional butter if desired.
Roll out the second dough disk into a 12-inch circle. Place it over the filling, or cut it into strips and create a lattice top. Trim and crimp the edges to seal.
Brush the top crust or lattice with the beaten egg, and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before serving, about 2-3 hours, to let the filling set.
Serve and enjoy your homemade 10-inch blueberry pie!
