Preparation

  • Pour all ingredients, except for pie shells and egg mixture, in a large bowl. Gently stir to coat blueberries entirely. Set aside.
  • Roll out the pie dough and place one in a 10 inch mold. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat over at 425°F.
  • Pour blueberry mix in the pie crust and spread well.
  • Cut strips of about ½ inch into the other pie shell and braid onto pie. Fold in the edges of the dough and squeeze to seal and create crust. Brush with the egg mixture.
  • Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake in the oven, on the lower grill, for about 20 minutes until dough is golden. Lower over temperature at 350°F, gently cover with aluminum foil and continue baking for about 40-50 minutes, until the blueberries boil gently. Remove from oven and let cool completely before serving.
