Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 900 grams Fresh blueberries
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 30 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 15 grams Butter
- 2 pieces Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir until the berries are evenly coated.
Roll out one of the pie crusts and carefully fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim any overhang to about 1 inch.
Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared crust. Dot the filling with small pieces of butter evenly across the top.
Roll out the second pie crust and gently place it over the filling. You can leave it whole, create a lattice design, or cut decorative vents to let steam escape.
Trim the top crust to match the overhang of the bottom crust, then fold and crimp the edges together to seal.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top of the pie. If desired, sprinkle coarse sugar on top for added texture and sweetness.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Reduce the oven temperature to 175°C (350°F) and continue baking for an additional 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
Slice and enjoy your spiced blueberry pie either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
