How to Make Maine Wild Blueberry Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray a 9-inch pie plate with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Place the bottom pie crust in the prepared pie plate.
  3. Gently clean 4 cups of fresh wild blueberries and place them in a large bowl.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons tapioca starch (or cornstarch), 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  5. Add 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice to the blueberries. Gently fold the blueberries into the sugar mixture until just combined.
  6. Let the blueberry mixture sit for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, gently stir the mixture again.
  7. Pour the blueberry filling into the pie shell.
  8. Top with the second pie crust. Crimp the edges to seal, and flute for a decorative finish.
  9. Cut 5 small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  10. Brush the top crust with 1 tablespoon of milk and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar.
  11. (Optional) Dot the top with 2 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter or margarine for extra richness.
  12. Bake for 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
  13. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  14. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
