Ingredients
- Fresh blueberries
- 4 cups
- Granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup
- All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons
- Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon
- Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons, cold and cubed
- Egg
- 1, beaten (for egg wash)
- Turbinado sugar
- 1 tablespoon (for sprinkling)
- Pie crust
- 2 (9-inch) crusts, homemade or store-bought
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Stir carefully to ensure the blueberries are well-coated without mashing them.
- Roll out one pie crust on a lightly floured surface and carefully place it in a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess dough that hangs over the edges.
- Spoon the blueberry filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Dot the filling with small pieces of cold, cubed butter to enhance the richness of the pie.
- Roll out the second pie crust and carefully place it over the blueberry filling. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal the pie securely.
- Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to give it a beautiful golden finish, and sprinkle with turbinado sugar for added texture and sweetness.
- Make a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking, preventing the crust from becoming soggy.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This cooling period allows the filling to set.
- Serve the Boston Blueberry Pie warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the delightful burst of flavor in every bite!
Tips
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a tablespoon of vanilla extract to the blueberry filling.
- You can substitute half of the blueberries with raspberries or blackberries for a mixed berry pie.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
