Prep
1. Preheat

Blueberry Filling
3. Mix the Berries
In a large mixing bowl, combine blueberries, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
Add sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
Stir until berries are evenly coated.
4. Fill the Pie
Pour the blueberry filling into the prepared crust.
Pat into an even layer.
Dot the top with diced butter.
Add the Lattice Top
5. Roll the Top Crust
Roll the remaining pie dough into a 12‑inch circle.
Cut into 10–12 strips, about 1 inch wide, using a pastry wheel or knife.
6. Weave the Lattice
Arrange strips over the pie, weaving them over and under to form a lattice.
Trim excess dough from both crusts, leaving about 1 inch of overhang.
Tuck the excess under and crimp the edges.
7. Egg Wash
Brush the lattice and edges with egg wash.
Sprinkle with sugar if desired.
Place the pie on a rimmed baking sheet.
Bake the Pie
8. First Bake
Bake at 425°F for 20 minutes.
9. Reduce Heat
Lower oven temperature to 350°F.
Bake 35–45 minutes, until the crust is deep golden brown and the filling bubbles around the edges.
10. Protect the Crust
Tent the entire pie or just the edges with foil if browning too quickly.
Cool Completely
11. Cool Down
Let the pie cool completely for about 4 hours before slicing.
