Ultimate Gooey Blueberry Pie

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 6 cups frozen blueberries
• 0.25 cups cornstarch , or as needed
• 1 cup white sugar
• 0.25 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1 orange , zested
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 pastry for a double-crust 9-inch pie , at room temperature
• 1 egg white , lightly beaten

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, 50 to 60 minutes.
