Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package pie crust store-bought or homemade
  • 5 cups blueberries fresh
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp basil chopped fresh
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter cut into small pieces
  • 1 large egg for egg wash
  • 1 tbsp milk for egg wash

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out one pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie pan.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and chopped basil. Stir until well coated.
  • Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared pie crust and dot with small pieces of butter.
  • Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling, or cut it into strips and create a lattice pattern. Seal and crimp the edges.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Brush the top of the pie with the egg wash.
  • Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before serving to let the filling set.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover pie in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Serving Suggestion: Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
  • Enhance the Flavor: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling for a deeper flavor profile.
