Irresistible Blueberry Lemon Pie

Ingredients

- 1 prepared pie crust (9-inch)
- 4 cups fresh blueberries
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar for topping

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon zest, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, and cornstarch. Gently toss the mixture until the blueberries are evenly coated and the ingredients are well combined.

3. Assemble the Pie: Roll out the prepared pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges as necessary. Pour the blueberry filling into the crust, ensuring an even distribution. Dot the filling evenly with the small pieces of butter.

4. Seal and Crimp Edges: Fold the edges of the pie crust under to form a thick edge and crimp decoratively using your fingers or a fork.

5. Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and heavy cream until smooth. Brush this mixture over the edge of the pie crust.

6. Add Final Touch: Sprinkle the coarse sugar evenly on top of the pie crust for added texture and sweetness.

7. Bake: Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

8. Cool: Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set properly.
