Deep Dish Blueberry Pie

By carvalhohm2

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup quick-cooking tapioca
• 6 cups fresh blueberries
• Juice of 1 orange
• 1 (15-ounce) package rolled refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
• 1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon milk

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, toss together sugar, tapioca, blueberries, and orange juice.

Unroll 1 pie crust on a well-floured surface. Fit over bottom of a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Spoon blueberry filling into crust and place second pie crust on top of filling. Pinch edges together to form a tight seal and decorative trim. With a knife, cut 5 or 6 small slits into crust. Brush pie with egg and milk wash.

Place pie on a baking sheet and bake 45 to 50 minutes, or until blueberry filling is bubbly and the crust is golden. Let cool before serving.
