How To Make country-style blueberry pie
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 400ºF.
-
Step 2In a large bowl, add blueberries, 3/4 cup sugar, flour, corn starch, lemon zest, and salt. Stir until the ingredients are well mixed before adding lemon juice. Toss again, pressing down on a few berries until the mixture is moistened and everything is coated.
-
Step 3Pour filling evenly, including any accumulated juices, into the pie crust. Distribute the butter cubes over the filling.
-
Step 4Place the top crust, folding under and crimping the edges. Using a sharp knife, make a few incisions to allow the steam to escape.
-
Step 5Brush on the egg wash and sprinkle 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar before placing a pie crust shield.
-
Step 6Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375 degrees F and bake 45 minutes.
-
Step 7About 25 minutes later, tent a piece of foil over the pie to prevent it from getting too dark. Continue baking for the remaining time or until the internal temperature reaches 200 degrees F.
-
Step 8Remove from the heat and transfer the pie to a wire rack; allow to cool for 4 hours before serving.
