🌟 Ingredients
For the Pie Filling:
4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
For the Pie Crust:
1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
1 egg (for egg wash)
1 tablespoon sugar (for topping, optional)
🫐 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place a baking sheet under the pie dish to catch any drips.
2. Prepare the Filling
In a large bowl, mix blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cinnamon.
Toss gently until berries are coated evenly.
3. Prepare the Pie Crust
Roll out the bottom crust into a 9-inch pie pan.
Pour the blueberry mixture evenly into the crust.
Place the top crust over the filling (lattice or full crust).
Trim excess edges and pinch together to seal.
4. Add Egg Wash
Beat 1 egg and brush lightly over the top crust.
Sprinkle sugar on top if desired for extra crunch.
5. Bake
Bake for 45–50 minutes, until the crust is golden and filling is bubbly.
Check after 30 minutes; if the crust edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
6. Cool & Serve
Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
Serve as is, or with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
🌟 Tips for the Best Easy Blueberry Pie
Use frozen blueberries if fresh aren’t available — no need to thaw.
Cornstarch is key for a thick, juicy filling that isn’t runny.
Lattice crust lets the filling breathe and looks beautiful.
Chill your crust for 10–15 minutes before baking for a flakier texture.
Add a squeeze of lemon — enhances the sweetness and flavor.
