Details:

• Serves 6-7
• Prep & cook time 1 hour 30 minutes 
• Oven 400° degrees F

Ingredients:

Pie Crust

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
• ¼ to ½ cup ice water
• 1 egg, beaten (for that beautiful golden crust)

Filling

• 4 cups fresh blueberries
• ¾ cup sugar
• ¼ cup cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon allspice

Directions:

Prepare the crust:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt.
• Cut in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Don't overmix.
• Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together.
• Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least one hour.

Prepare the filling:

• Take those juicy blueberries and mix them with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, zest, and a dash of spice. Try not to eat half of it straight from the bowl—self-control is key.

Assemble the pie:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Roll out your chilled dough like a pro, fit it into a 9-inch pie dish.
• Pour in that irresistible filling. 
  

Add the top crust:

• Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal.
• Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
• Lightly brush with egg wash, for that extra golden crust.

Bake:

• Slide it into a 400°F oven and let the magic happen for 45-50 minutes. Your kitchen will smell like a dream, and your patience will be tested.

Wait (the hardest part)

• Let it cool before digging in, unless you’re into the whole molten blueberry lava experience. But hey, no judgment if you go for it—just have some ice cream ready to cool things down.
