Como fazer Perfect Blueberry Pie Filling
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup blueberries and 3/4 cup granulated sugar.
- Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture becomes very liquid (about 5-7 minutes).
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water until smooth.
- Pour the cornstarch slurry into the blueberry mixture.
- Increase heat to medium and bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. The mixture will thicken significantly and become clear.
- Remove from heat and immediately pour the hot mixture into a large bowl to cool slightly.
- Once the mixture is warm (not hot), gently fold in the remaining 3 cups of blueberries, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter.
- Allow the filling to cool completely before adding it to your pie crust.
- Add your prepared top crust and brush with an egg wash (1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water). Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) once you place the pie in the oven.
- Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Check halfway through baking and cover the edges with foil if they start to brown too quickly.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
