Amazing blueberry pies with the best flaky pie crust. The blueberry filling is so simple to make, It’s perfectly sweetened and flavored with a hint of lemon zest and cinnamon.
Pie plates I used 4 5" ramekins today. You can use any pie plates you like, from smaller to bigger sizes.

Instructions
Pie Dough
Make one batch of my pie dough. Divide in half and wrap each. Let it rest in the fridge for a few hours.
13.2 oz All-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon Salt, 8 oz Unsalted butter, 3.9 oz Icy water, 1 tablespoon Oil
Roll it very thin; 0.1 inches | 2 - 3 mm thickness. Use one sheet for the bottom layer and the other for the top layer. (Chill it in the fridge until right before use.)
Some Bread flour
Cut the dough for the bottom layer and set them on pie plates. (I used 4 5" ramekins to make 4 pies today. Change as you like.)
Some Butter
Blueberry Filling
Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl; granulated sugar, salt, cornstarch, cinnamon powder, and Lemon zest.
4 oz Granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon Salt, 4.5 tablespoon Cornstarch, ½ teaspoon Cinnamon powder, from 2 lemons Lemon zest
Mix it with blueberries and lemon juice well.
36 oz Blueberry, 2 tablespoon Lemon juice
Divide it into pie plates.Scrape off all the left liquids attached to the bowl!
Finish Assembling & Bake!
Place some chunks of butter on top of the filling.
Some Butter
Cut out the 2nd pie sheet (Today, I cut 3 circles and stripes for 4 5" plates.) and make cuts on the surface to create any patterns you like.
Apply egg wash on the edge of the dough and seal the filling with the 2nd layer.
Some Egg wash
Apply eggwash all over the surface and sprinkle some granulated sugar all over it.
Some Granulated sugar
Chill them in the fridge before baking. (30 mins - 1 hour)
Bake (Preheated) at 380 F | 193 C for about 45 - 50 minutes until the filling starts bubbling out.Adjust the time and temperature depending on the oven and the size of the plates.Enjoy them while they are warm for the best taste!
