Ingredients
For the Pie Crust:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) chilled cannabis-infused butter (see our canna-butter recipe), cut into pieces
- 6-8 tablespoons ice water
For the Blueberry Filling:
- 6 cups fresh blueberries
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
For Assembly:
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
Prepare the Crust:
-
Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
-
Incorporate Butter:
- Add the chilled cannabis-infused butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Add Water:
- Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Prepare the Filling:
-
Mix Filling Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Toss gently to coat the berries evenly.
Assemble the Pie:
-
Roll Out Dough:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the dough to the pie dish, allowing the excess to hang over the edges.
-
Add Filling:
- Pour the blueberry filling into the crust.
-
Top Crust:
- Roll out the second disk of dough and place it over the filling. Trim the excess dough and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
-
Egg Wash and Sugar:
- Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Bake the Pie:
-
Bake:
- Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the edges start to brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
-
Cool:
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving to allow the filling to set.
