   • Start by sprinkling the fresh blueberries with lemon juice in a bowl. Set them aside while you prepare the pastry.

2. Prepare the Pastry:

   • Fit half of the pastry into a 9-inch pie plate according to the directions of recipe #26205. This homemade pastry will elevate the flavor and texture of your pie crust.

3. Combine the Filling:

   • In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of sugar, flour, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well before adding this mixture to the prepared berries. Stir until the berries are evenly coated.

4. Assemble the Pie:

   • Pour the berry mixture into the pastry shell, and dot it with butter for that extra richness.

5. Top with Pastry:

   • Unfold the remaining pastry on a lightly floured surface. Roll it gently with a rolling pin to remove any creases. Then, carefully place it over the filling.

6. Seal and Crimp:

   • Seal the edges of the pie by crimping them with your fingers or a fork. This will ensure that the filling stays enclosed during baking.

7. Ventilation:

   • Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape while baking. This prevents the pie from becoming too soggy.

8. Egg Wash:

   • Brush the top of the pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish. Sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar over the egg wash for added sweetness and crunch.

9. Bake to Perfection:

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the pie for 35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

10. Prevent Overbrowning:

    • If the edges of the crust start to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil to prevent overbrowning while the rest of the pie continues to bake.

11. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Once baked to perfection, allow the pie to cool slightly before serving. For an extra indulgent treat, serve slices of this heavenly pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
