Ingredients

  • 2 pre-made pie crusts
  • 5 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar for sprinkling

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place one pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Gently stir until the blueberries are coated in the mixture.
  4. Pour the blueberry filling into the prepared pie crust. Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
  5. Cover the pie with the second pie crust. Trim the edges and crimp them together to seal the pie. Cut a few slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  6. Brush the top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  7. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and place it in the preheated oven.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  9. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving.
  10. Slice and serve the Luscious Blueberry Pie on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  11. Enjoy!
