Grandma’s Blueberry Pie
This pie is a tribute to the simple joys of life, encapsulated in its buttery crust and bursting with vibrant blueberries. It’s perfect for any occasion – be it a summer picnic or a cozy family dinner. Let’s get started!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 package of prepared pie crusts (or homemade if you’re feeling adventurous!)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon together until the berries are evenly coated. Let this mixture sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- While the blueberries are resting, roll out one of the pie crusts and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate.
- Pour the blueberry filling into the prepared crust, making sure to distribute it evenly. Dot the top of the filling with small pieces of butter.
- Cover the pie with the second crust. You can either create a lattice top or simply cut slits in the crust for ventilation. Make sure to seal the edges well.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush this mixture over the top crust for a beautiful golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Once done, allow the pie to cool for at least an hour before slicing. This allows the filling to set perfectly.
There you have it! A delicious Grandma’s Blueberry Pie that is not only a feast for the eyes but also a treat for the taste buds. Gather your loved ones, slice up that pie, and enjoy the sweet moments that follow!
