Scandinavian Blueberry Pie

Ingredients and Weight:

• 1 box (32 oz) frozen wild blueberries
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
• 1/4 cup ice water

Preparation Time:

15 minutes

Cooking Time:

45-50 minutes

Difficulty Level:

2 (Easy)

Preparation Method Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Mix well.
3. In a separate bowl, combine flour and butter. Use your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate and trim the edges.
6. Fill the pie crust with the blueberry mixture.
7. Roll out the remaining dough and cut into strips. Weave the strips over the pie filling, or create a lattice design.
8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let cool slightly before serving.
