Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend
- 1 cup Cold Unsalted Butter (cut into cubes)
- 6-8 tablespoons Ice Water
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 6 cups Fresh Blueberries
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Turbinado Sugar (for sprinkling)
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum (if flour blend doesn't contain it)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, sugar, salt, and xanthan gum (if needed).
- 3
Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 4
Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Divide dough in half, flatten into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- 5
In a separate bowl, gently combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
- 6
On a lightly floured surface (using gluten-free flour), roll out one disc of dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer to a 9-inch pie plate.
- 7
Pour the blueberry mixture into the pie crust.
- 8
Roll out the second disc of dough and either create a top crust or cut into strips for a lattice top.
- 9
Brush the crust with egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- 10
Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
