Lattice-Top Blueberry Pie
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- Pate Brisee (page 322)
- 2 pounds (about 7 cups) fresh blueberries, picked over and rinsed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 large egg yolk, for egg wash
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream, for egg wash
- Fine sanding sugar, for sprinkling
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 disk of dough to a 13-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick.
- Fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate.
- In a large bowl, toss together berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice until combined.
- Pour mixture into pie plate, piling in center.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out remaining disk of dough as in step 1.
- To make lattice, cut dough into ten 1-inch-wide strips using a fluted pastry wheel.
- Lightly brush edge of dough in pie plate with water.
- Carefully arrange dough strips on top, weaving to form a lattice (see page 328).
- Trim dough to a 1-inch overhang.
- Fold edges under as desired, and crimp with a fork.
- In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk and cream for egg wash; brush on top of dough strips and edge of pie shell.
- Generously sprinkle with sanding sugar.
- Refrigerate or freeze pie until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Transfer pie plate to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, and bake until crust begins to brown, about 20 minutes.
- Reduce heat to 350F.
- Continue baking until crust is deep golden brown and juices bubble, 55 minutes more.
- (If crust browns too quickly, tent pie with foil.)
- Transfer pie to a wire rack; let cool completely, at least 3 hours, before serving.
