One of the many great things about summer is blueberry pie. We love blueberry picking and making pies with freshly picked blueberries. The pie is juicy, delicious and a family favorite.

- 5 tablespoons cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

- Pour into the prepared pie crust.
- Top with remaining crust and gently brush with egg wash.
- Place pie on a baking sheet to catch any juice that might drip over the edge while baking.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then decrease the oven temperature to 375 degrees (use a crust guard to protect the edges) and continue to bake for 40 to 50 minutes until crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool for a least 2 hours before serving so the filling can set up.
- Serve and enjoy:)
Notes
If you do not have cornstarch, you can use 6 tablespoons of flour to thicken the filling.
