Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 Batch Flaky Dough Rolled top and bottom crust for a 9" pan
  • 1 ½ Pounds Frozen Blueberries, defrosted and drained (reserve juice for making the pie)
  • ½ Cup Blueberry juice (reserved from defrosted blueberries)
  • 3 Tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 3 Fluid Ounces Cold Water (for dissolving cornstarch)
  • 5 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ⅔ Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Large Egg, lightly whipped (used to wash the top of the pie)
  • 1 tablespoon Raw Sugar or Granulated Sugar (for sprinkling over top crust)

Instructions
 

Make Blueberry Slurry

  • Defrost and drain frozen blueberries. Reserve 4 fluid ounces of juice.
  • Add cornstarch to a small bowl and dissolve by whisking in 3 fluid ounces of cold water.
  • Measure 5 tablespoons granulated sugar into a medium-sized saucepan.
  • In a small bowl combine ⅔ cup sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Pour blueberry juice into saucepan with granulated sugar. Heat on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until it begins boiling.
  • Lower heat to medium. Add cornstarch/water mixture to pan and stir constantly until thick.
  • Add sugar/cinnamon/salt to pan and stir until sugar is melted.
  • Remove pan from heat and let slurry cool briefly.
  • Pour slurry over blueberries and fold until all berries are coated.

Assembling the pie

  • Pour blueberry filling into a pie pan lined with the dough of your choice. Evenly distribute filling using an offset spatula.
  • Place top crust over filling and seal pie by fluting the crust. Cut at least four 2" slits into top crust to allow steam to escape while baking.
  • Lightly whip an egg and using a pastry brush apply to the top crust. Sprinkle with raw or granulated sugar.
  • Place assembled pie in refrigerator or freezer to allow the crust to relax.

Baking the Pie

  • Preheat the oven to 425° while the pie is resting in refrigerator/freezer.
  • Place pie on a cookie sheet or pie drip catcher and bake for 30 minutes. Check pie after 20 minutes. If crust is turning too dark, place a pie shield over the outer crust or wrap loosely in foil.
  • Remove from oven, place on a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before serving.
