This blueberry pie has a buttery, flaky crust and a sweet filling made with fresh or frozen blueberries. The lattice crust adds a simple and rustic look while letting the filling bubble through. It's an easy dessert that everyone will enjoy.
Dough - Combine the all-purpose flour and salt in a large bowl of a food processor or mixing bowl. Add the cold, cubed butter. Pulse a few times on medium speed or cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3 cups All-purpose flour, 1 tsp Salt, 1 cup Unsalted butter, 6 - 8 tbsp Ice water
Chill - Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough just comes together. Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape each into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Blueberry filling - Combine the granulated sugar, lemon zest, spice mix, cornstarch, flour, and salt in a bowl. Toss the blueberries with the lemon juice in a large bowl, then add the sugar mixture. Gently toss to coat the blueberries evenly. Set aside.
6 cups Fresh blueberries, ⅔ cup Granulated sugar, 2 tbsp Cornstarch, 4 tbsp All-purpose flour, 1 tsp Lemon zest, ½ tsp Spice mix, 1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice, ½ tsp Salt
Preheat your oven to 375°F / 190°C / Gas Mark 5.
Bottom crust - Roll out one disc of pie dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Transfer the dough to the pan and trim any excess overhang.
Filling - Add the blueberry filling to the prepared pie crust. Dot the filling with diced butter.
1 tbsp Unsalted butter
Top crust - Roll out the second disc of pie dough and cut it into strips for the lattice top. Arrange the strips in a lattice pattern over the filling.
Braided border - To create a braided border, roll out some extra dough and cut it into thin strips. Braid these strips and attach them around the edge of the pie crust.
Egg wash - Brush the lattice and braid with beaten egg and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
½ Egg, 2 tbsp Granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Bake - Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Cool - Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack before serving.
