Ingredients :
- Two homemade pie crusts
- 6 cups (1500 mL) blueberries
- 2/3 cup (165 ml) sugar
- 1/4 cup (65 ml) cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten with 1 tablespoon milk
Preparation :
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
- In a bowl, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and lemon juice. Set aside while oven preheats.
- On a lightly floured surface, tightly roll out the pie dough so that it has a diameter of 12 inches and place it in the bottom of a 9-inch Pyrex dish with a 2-inch rim.
- Pour the mixture into the pie. Be careful to leave the liquid at the bottom of the bowl, we don’t want that in our mixture otherwise it will make a soft pie (and who likes a soft pie?).
- Cut the butter into small pieces and put on top of the mixture.
- Take out the second crust and roll out on a lightly floured surface into a dough about 12 inches in diameter. Cut into strips about 1 inch and a half.
- Install the strips on the pie and press well to seal the ends.
- Brush the pie crust with the egg/milk mixture to brown it well.
- Put in the oven for 20 minutes.
- Leave the pie inside and lower the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C).
- Bake for 25 minutes. When there are about 5 to 10 minutes left, cover with aluminum foil to prevent it from blackening… You may not need to do this.
- Let the pie cool for 2 or 3 hours.
- Eat and add to it including a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
