Fruit pie for the perfect anytime dessert. You may be better off to do two pies Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2/3 cup cold butter |
2 ounces cold water |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon allspice |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
6 cups fresh blueberries |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 400°F Combine 2 cups flour and salt in large bowl; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in enough water with fork just until flour is moistened.
2. Divide dough in half; shape each half into ball. Flatten slightly. Wrap 1 ball of dough in plastic food wrap; refrigerate. Roll out remaining ball of dough on lightly floured surface into 12-inch circle. Fold into quarters. Place dough into 9-inch pie pan; unfold, pressing firmly against bottom and sides. Trim crust to 1/2 inch from edge of pan.
3. Combine sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, nutmeg and cinnamon; mix well. Stir in blueberries. Spoon blueberry mixture into prepared pie crust.
4. Roll out remaining ball of dough on lightly floured surface into 12-inch circle. Cut out decorative shapes in dough using a small cookie cutter. Place dough over filling. Seal, trim and crimp or flute edge. Cover edge of crust with 2-inch strip of aluminum foil so it don't burn.
5. Bake for 35 minutes; remove aluminum foil. Continue baking for 10 to 20 minutes or until crust is lightly browned and juice begins to bubble through cut-outs in crust.
6. Cool pie 30 minutes; serve warm. Store refrigerated.
7. TIP::: If fresh blueberries are unavailable, substitute frozen blueberries and increase baking time by 15 minutes.
