HOMEMADE BLUEBERRY PIE
After a few additional years of testing, this is now the best blueberry pie. As the pie bakes, expect a messy, bubbly, and juicy filling. As the pie cools, the filling sets into a jammy, yet sliceable consistency. For a truly out-of-this-world summer dessert experience, serve each flavorful slice with vanilla ice cream.

Steps:
- Prepare either pie crust recipe through step 5.
- Stir the blueberries, sugar, flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, lemon juice, and lemon zest together in a large bowl. Mix together until it's no longer dry and powdery; burst a few blueberries if necessary to moisten. Set filling aside as the oven preheats. Filling can be covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours if needed.
- Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position and preheat to 425°F (218°C). Place baking sheet on the bottom oven rack to catch any blueberry juices.
- On a floured work surface, roll out one of the discs of chilled dough (keep the other one in the refrigerator). Turn the dough about a quarter turn after every few rolls until you have a circle 12 inches in diameter. Carefully place the dough into a 9×2-inch round pie dish. Tuck it in with your fingers, making sure it is smooth. Pour and spread filling evenly into pie dish. Dot the pieces of butter on top of the filling. Set aside at room temperature or in the refrigerator as you assemble the top pie crust.
- Remove the other disc of chilled pie dough from the refrigerator. Roll the dough into a circle that is 12 inches diameter. Using a pastry wheel, sharp knife, or pizza cutter, cut strips of dough; in the pictured pie, I cut 10 1.5-inch-wide strips. Carefully thread the strips over and under one another, pulling back strips as necessary to weave. (Here's a lattice pie crust tutorial if you need visuals.) Press the edges of the strips into the bottom pie crust edges to seal. Use a small paring knife to trim off excess dough. Flute or crimp the edges with a fork.
- Lightly brush the top of the pie crust with the egg wash. Sprinkle the top with coarse sugar, if using.
- Bake the pie at 425°F for 25 minutes; then, keeping the pie in the oven, reduce the oven temperature down to 375° (190°C). Place a pie crust shield (see Note for homemade shield) on the edges to prevent them from over-browning. Continue baking the pie until the filling's juices are bubbling everywhere, including in the center, 40-50 more minutes. This sounds like a long time, but under-baking the pie means a soupy filling with paste-like flour and cornstarch chunks. If you want to be precise, the internal temperature of the filling taken with an instant read thermometer should be around 200°F (93°C) when done. Tip: If needed towards the end of bake time, remove the pie crust shield and tent an entire piece of foil on top of the pie if the top looks like it's getting too brown.
- Remove pie from the oven, place on a cooling rack, and cool for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving. Filling will be too juicy if the pie is warm when you slice it.
- Cover leftovers tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
FRESH BLUEBERRY PIE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Mix the blueberries, 1/2 cup of sugar, the flour, lemon zest, lemon juice and Cassis in a large bowl. Carefully ease one pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate, making sure not to stretch the dough or it will shrink as the pie bakes. With a sharp knife, cut the excess dough off at the edge of the pie plate. Spoon the blueberry mixture into the pie shell, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula to be sure you include all the juices.
- Brush the edge of the crust with the egg wash. Carefully lay the second crust on top, again easing - not stretching - it onto the pie. Cut the excess dough off at the edge of the pie plate. Press the edges together with a dinner fork or crimp with your fingers. Brush the top crust with the egg wash, cut three slits for steam to escape and sprinkle with sugar.
- Place the pie on the prepared sheet pan and bake in the middle of the oven for 45 to 50 minutes, until the filling is very bubbly and the crust is nicely browned. Allow to cool and serve warm or at room temperature.
- Cut the butter in 1/2-inch dice and return it to the refrigerator while you prepare the flour mixture. Place the flour, sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse a few times to mix. Add the butter and shortening and pulse 10 to 12 times, until the butter is the size of peas. With the machine running, pour the ice water down the feed tube and pulse the machine until the dough begins to form a ball. Dump the dough out on a floured board and turn it into a ball. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Cut the dough in half. Roll each piece out on a well-floured board into a 12- to 13-inch circle, rolling from the center to the edge, turning and flouring the dough to make sure it doesn't stick to the board.
EASY-AS-PIE BLUEBERRY PIE FILLING
I usually like fresh fruits rather than frozen but make an exception for raw blueberries-- I actually prefer frozen because they are usually bigger, sweeter, and don't have any moldy/rotten ones in the mix. Being cheaper than fresh is a nice added bonus. Plus, they work awesome for pie filling! Forget the canned stuff or straining yourself with fresh berries-- this comes out tart but big on blueberry flavor, I like to use 1/8 cup Sun Crystals in place ofthe sugar. Arrowroot thickens quicker than cornstarch and aids digestion. Prep time does not account for defrosting the berries. This makes enough for one 9" pie.

Steps:
- The easiest way to defrost the blueberries is to simply leave the bag in the fridge overnight or for a couple hours. But you can also do it in the microwave for about 5-6 minutes on your microwave's defrost setting.
- However you defrost them, empty the bag's contents-- blueberry juice included, that's important for flavor and consistency-- into a heavy-bottom saucepan.
- Stir the blueberries with the sugar on high heat for a minute or two.
- Lower the heat and stir in the cinnamon, and let simmer for about another 5 minutes.
- Add the arrowroot until thickened and let simmer until a thick and syrup-y consistency happens.
- Pour into a 9" pie crust, a premade or homemade one, and let chill in the fridge for about an hour unless you like to eat it warm.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Unfold one of the pie crusts and press into a 9-inch pie dish.
- Combine the berries with the flour in a large bowl and toss to coat. Add the sugar, a squeeze of lemon and a dash of salt. Toss to combine. Pour the berries into the prepared pie dish.
- Cut the remaining pie crust into 1-inch-wide strips. Arrange the strips on top of the pie in a criss-cross pattern to form a lattice. Bake until the filling is bubbly, 45 to 60 minutes. Serve.
BLUEBERRY PIE FILLING, FORGET THE CANS!
If you're not as into the health-ified blueberry pie recipe I have up (Recipe #430494) and prefer it sweet instead of tart, you might like this one as it also calls for frozen blueberries-- they're really a MUST for this because of that defrosted blueberry juice! I estimated 20 ounces because the last time I made this, one bag didn't seem to be enough so I added about 1/3-1/2 cup more frozen blueberries from an open bag I had. Light or dark brown sugar can be used, I used light.

Steps:
- Make sure your 16-oz bag of blueberries is good and defrosted! If you need extra, it's okay if you use ones that are still frozen-- I made it that way, the rest need to be thawed with that blueberry juice floating around in the pot.
- Empty the blueberries, juice and all, into a heavy-bottom saucepan for easy dispersion with the brown sugar on medium heat. It's okay if your brown sugar is lumpy/hard.
- Stir around until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
- Add the spices to your liking to the mix, namely cinnamon.
- Add the cornstarch and stir in well.
- Keep the heat on low and let simmer for about 5 minutes, and stir well again, it should have a nice thick glue-like consistency.
- It's ready to serve over something like white cake and ice cream! Can also be refridgerated for about a week. For pie baking, simply pour into a pre-baked or homemade 9 or 10 inch pie shell and pat down evenly and add your own pie crust or streusel topping.

PERFECT BLUEBERRY PIE FILLING
I love the the texture and flavor this technique produces in making blueberry filling. If you are tired of the overly processed and overly cornstarched taste of blueberry pie filling, give this a try. Method produces a "fresh blueberry" taste.
