Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 cups Fresh blueberries
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Bourbon
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoons Lime zest
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 pieces Pre-made pie crust (top and bottom)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, bourbon, lime juice, lime zest, salt, and melted butter. Gently mix until the blueberries are well coated.
Roll out one of the pre-made pie crusts and line the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.
Pour the blueberry filling evenly into the prepared pie crust.
Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. You can leave it whole and cut slits for venting or create a lattice pattern for a decorative top.
Seal and crimp the edges of the pie crusts together. Trim any excess dough if needed.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top crust for a golden finish.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack (about 2-3 hours) to allow the filling to set.
Serve at room temperature or chilled. Optional: Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
