Blueberry Pie

Although it’s September, I wanted to take advantage of summer produce one more time. I realized that I hadn’t make a blueberry pie this year, which I remedied yesterday morning. The blueberries were the size of marbles, and very sweet – this pie is delicious!

• pie dough for 2 crusts
• 6 cups blueberries
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
• egg wash – 1 egg + 1 tablespoon water

1. Preheat oven to 425º.
2. In a large bowl mix berries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cinnamon.
3. Roll out dough and ease into a 9″ pie plate, pour in berry mixture, add the lattice. Dot with the butter, and brush on egg wash.
4. Place on a baking sheet, and bake at 425º for 25 minutes, turn down oven to 375º and bake for an additional 40 minutes.
