Ingredients

  6. Dot the exposed blueberry filling with the diced butter.
  7. Brush the edges of the pie crust with the beaten egg wash.
  8. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the blueberries are bubbling.
  9. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving.
  10. Slice and serve the topless blueberry pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
