Equipment

  • - Pie Dish (Designed for deep pies, ensuring even baking and easy removal)

  • - Mixing Bowls (Essential for preparing pie filling and dough; large stainless steel or glass options recommended)

  • - Pie Crust Roller (Makes rolling out the pie crust easier and more uniformly thick)

  • - Silicone Baking Mat (Useful for evenly transferring dough into pans or to prevent sticking on baking surfaces)

  • - Measuring Cups and Spoons (Accurate measurement is crucial in baking; stainless steel sets are suggested)

  • - Pie Dish Cleaner (Makes cleaning up a breeze after pie-making sessions)

  • - Apple Peeler and Slicer (Useful for adding apple slices to the deep dish pie as a variation)

  • - Pie Server (Perfect for serving and cutting the pie neatly without making a mess)

  • - Baking Sheets (Utility in preparing ingredients like rolling out dough on parchment paper)

  • - Pie Dish Protector (Prevents over-browning of pie crust and ensures it bakes through properly)

  • - Dough Roller (Another essential for achieving a smoothly rolled-out pie dough)

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar

  • 5 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca

  • 6 cups fresh wild blueberries or 3 (10-ounce) packages frozen (not thawed)

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • Pastry dough for a double-crust pie

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

  • 1 large egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water

Instruction 5

Spoon filling with any accumulated juices into shell, dot with butter, and cover with top crust. Trim top crust with kitchen shears, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold overhang of top crust under bottom pastry and press against rim of pie plate to reinforce edge, then crimp decoratively and brush with egg wash.
