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.

BLUEBERRY PIE

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 COBBLER PIE

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Have a pie plate with a crust handy.
• To Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl combine blueberries, sugar, flour, and lemon zest.
• Pour into the crust. Pour lemon juice and butter over mixture.
• To Make the Topping: Stir together the flour, egg, sugar, lemon zest and cinnamon with a fork. Spread over top the filling. Pour the butter over the top of it.
• PLace in the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes.

HOMEMADE PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Put flour into a mixing bowl with the butter.
• Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour.
• Add salt and water.
• Mix until dough is formed.
• Roll out on flat surface.
• Bake at 375 degrees until brown.
• Prick crust prior to baking for non filled baked pies.

BLUEBERRY PIE WITH SWEET ALMOND CRUST

Steps:

• Ground the almonds in the food processor until fine.
• Add the flour, salt, and sugar. Pulse a few times to mix. Add the COLD butter and shortening cubes and pulse until the mixture resembles peas.
• Add the amaretto and 1 tablespoon of cold milk. Pulse again until the dough comes together. Add another 1-2 tablespoons of milk if needed. Dump the dough out onto a sheet of plastic wrap.
• Separate into two equal pieces and flatten into two disks. Wrap each disk in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix the blueberries with the following 5 ingredients and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Move to racks to a lower and middle position.
• Flour a work surface and roll out one disk of dough in a 12 inch circle. Fold the dough over the rolling pin to transfer it to a 9 inch pie pan. Repair any cracks.
• Crimp or pinch the edges.
• Roll out the second disk of dough and cut out shapes with a floured cookie cutter.
• Pour the berry filling into the pie crust and top with 2 tablespoons of butter cubes. Arrange the dough shapes over the filling. Whisk an egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush the egg wash over the pie crust.
• Place the pie on the lower rack and bake for 15 minutes. Lower the heat to 375 degrees F, and move the pie up to the middle rack. Bake another 35-45 minutes-until the crust is golden brown and the blueberry filling in bubbling. If the pie crust browns too quickly, cover it with foil.
• Once out of the oven, resist the urge to cut into the pie and have a slice. The pie needs to cool to room temperature for the filling to thicken up! It usually takes about 2 hours!
