Cuisine: American
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 2 pie crusts I use Trader Joe's premade crusts if I'm looking for a shortcut, or this excellent recipe for pate brisee if I want to do it right
  • 5 cups fresh blueberries
  • 5 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • juice from 1/2 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Mix together cornstarch, sugar, lemon and cinnamon and toss with blueberries to coat.
  • Line pie plate with pie crust and fill with blueberry mixture.
  • Cover pie with the other half of a crust (if using pate brisee, or the second crust if using Trader Joe's) or use a paring knife to cut strips to weave a lattice; seal and crimp edges firmly.
  • Place a sheet of foil in the bottom of the oven (to catch berry juices that may leak out of pie during baking).
  • Bake for 35 minutes, then reduce heat to 375 degrees and bake for 15-20 more minutes.
  • Remove and set on a wire rack to cool at least 1 hour, until juices are set.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream.
