Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 recipe for double pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

How to Make Blueberry Pie

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Gently toss until the blueberries are well coated. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Roll out half of your pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides.
4. Pour the blueberry filling into the pie crust, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Dot the filling with small pieces of butter.
5. Roll out the second half of your pie crust and cut it into strips to create the lattice. Lay half of the strips vertically across the pie, then weave the remaining strips horizontally, pressing the edges to seal.
6. Trim any excess crust and crimp the edges for a decorative finish.
7. Brush the lattice crust with a little water or melted butter, and sprinkle a touch of sugar on top for added sweetness and shine.
8. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
9. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to allow the filling to set.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor; frozen berries can work but may require additional cornstarch to thicken.
• For a sweeter pie, adjust the sugar to taste based on the sweetness of your blueberries.
• To prevent a soggy bottom crust, consider pre-baking the crust for about 10 minutes before adding the filling.

Easy Variations

• Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling for a warm spice flavor.
• Mix in other berries like raspberries or blackberries for a mixed berry pie.
• Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent dessert.

What to Serve With It

• Vanilla ice cream drizzled with caramel sauce.
• Fresh whipped cream with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
• A scoop of lemon sorbet for a refreshing contrast.
