Cooking Time:
1 hour 30 minutes
Ingredients:
For the Pie Crust:
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3-4 tablespoons ice water
For the Blueberry Filling:
- 4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the Lemon Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Recipe:
- Prepare the Pie Crust:
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt.
- Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
- Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Blueberry Filling:
- In a large bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Toss to coat the blueberries evenly.
- Assemble the Pie:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the pie dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the dough in the dish and trim any excess.
- Fill the pie crust with the blueberry mixture.
- Roll out the remaining dough and place it over the filling. Trim, seal, and crimp the edges. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Prepare the Lemon Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before drizzling with the lemon glaze.
