Preparation Details
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 50 mins
Total Time: 1 hr
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 6 cups frozen blueberries
- ¼ cup cornstarch, or as needed
- 1 cup white sugar
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 orange, zested
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pastry for a double-crust 9-inch pie, at room temperature
- 1 egg white, lightly beaten
Steps
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray.
- Mix blueberries and cornstarch together in a bowl until all the blueberries are coated. Add sugar, orange juice, orange zest, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to blueberries; stir until well mixed.
- Press 1 pie crust into the prepared pie dish. Brush the bottom crust with ½ of the beaten egg white. Pour blueberry mixture into the pie crust.
- Lay the second crust over the blueberry filling, crimping the 2 crusts together to seal. Cut 4 1/2-inch slits into the top crust. Brush the top crust with the remaining egg wash. Cover crust edges with strips of aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, 50 to 60 minutes.
