Fresh Blueberry Pie
Ingredients:
|
| 1 |
package (15 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on package |
| 3/4 |
cup sugar |
| 1/3 |
cup cornstarch |
| 1/2 |
teaspoon ground cinnamon |
| 5 |
cups fresh or frozen blueberries, thawed and well drained |
| 2 |
tablespoons lemon zest, finely chopped |
| 1 |
tablespoon lemon juice |
| 1 |
tablespoon milk (optional) |
| 2 |
teaspoons sugar (optional) |
Directions:
| Preheat oven to 375°F. Gently unfold one crust onto lightly floured surface; roll to a 12-inch circle. Place crust in Deep Dish Pie Plate, pressing into bottom and up sides. |
| In large bowl, combine sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon. Add blueberries, lemon zest and juice; toss gently to coat. Spoon fruit mixture into pie plate. |
| Roll remaining crust into a 12-inch circle. Place crust over filling; seal and flute edges. Cut slits in top of crust to allow steam to escape. Brush milk over crust; sprinkle with sugar, if desired. Place Pie Shield or 2-to-3-inch strips of aluminum foil over edge of pie. Bake 25 minutes (35 for frozen fruit); remove shield. Bake an additional 25-30 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Remove from oven; cool at least 3 hours. |
| To serve, cut pie into wedges. Place Pie Gate in opening of remaining pie; spread wings to hold in filling. |
