Ingredients
For the Crust:
Double crust pie dough, chilled overnight
For the Filling:
4 cups (560 grams) blueberries (frozen, unthawed)
2 cups (280 grams) wild blueberries (frozen, unthawed)
3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
5 tablespoons (40 grams) cornstarch
1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, diced
For the Egg Wash:
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon heavy cream or whole milk
Turbinado or coarse sugar, for sprinkling
Instructions
1. Roll out one disk of pie dough into a 12-inch circle and fit into a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan. Trim edges. Chill.
2. Roll out second disk to 13 inches and cut into 10 strips. Chill again.
3. Toss blueberries with sugar, cornstarch, zest, juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
4. Pour berry mixture into chilled pie shell and dot with butter. Brush crust edges with water.
5. Weave lattice top with chilled dough strips. Trim and tuck edges, then crimp.
6. Freeze assembled pie for 15–30 minutes.
7. Preheat oven to 400°F. Place a baking stone or steel on lower rack.
8. Whisk egg yolk with cream. Brush pie with egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
9. Bake at 400°F for 25 minutes. Reduce heat to 375°F and bake 45–55 more minutes, until golden and filling bubbles.
10. Cool completely for at least 3 hours before slicing.
Notes
Do not thaw the blueberries before using.
Bake until the center of the pie reaches 203°F for a properly set filling.
If crust edges brown too quickly, cover with foil or use a pie shield.
Store at room temperature for up to 2 days, wrapped in foil.
To re-crisp, reheat in a 350°F oven for 5–10 minutes.
