1 Cup Granulated Sugar
3 Tablespoons Cornstarch
3 Tablespoons Water
2 Teaspoons Lemon Juice
1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1 Tablespoon Butter

Instructions

Add the granulated sugar, corn starch, cold water, lemon juice, ground cinnamon and 4 cups of the blueberries to a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat stirring constantly until all the sugar is dissolved and the blueberry mixture is bubbly and slightly thickened. This will take 8 to 10 minutes.

Notes

Directions to Make Blueberry Pie:

Prepare the Crust. Use your favorite pie crust recipe or a store-bought crust. Roll out the bottom crust and place it in a pie dish. Trim any excess dough from the edges.

Add the Filling. Pour your homemade blueberry pie filling into the prepared pie crust. Spread it evenly.

Top with Crust. Roll out the top crust and place it over the filling. You can create a lattice design, cut vents for steam, or simply seal the edges with the bottom crust using a fork.

Bake. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Cool and Serve. Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving. Optionally, serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Tip: For a crisper bottom crust, brush it lightly with beaten egg white before adding the blueberry pie filling. For a golden, shiny top crust, brush the top with egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water) just before baking.
