Ingredients
- 5 1/2 cups blueberries
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
For pie:
- 2 pie crusts
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
- Add blueberries, 1 cup sugar, flour, and lemon juice to a medium pot over medium-high heat.
- Continue stirring as the mixture comes to a simmer.
- The mixture should start to blend together and thicken.
- Once thickened, after about 10–15 minutes, remove from the heat.
For Pie:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Place the bottom pie crust in a lightly greased 9-inch pie pan.
- Fill with blueberry pie filling.
- Add the top pie crust and crimp the edges.
- Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the top crust with the egg wash.
- Cut four small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar on top.
- Cover the crimped edges with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes. This helps prevent burning.
- Remove the foil.
- Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until crust edges are golden brown.
- Allow to rest for 4 hours.
Notes
- Continue to stir while the filling is heating. This helps prevent burning and makes for a better end product.
- Use fresh blueberries or frozen blueberries that have been thawed.
