Ingredients
  

Pie Crust

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces (or 3/4 cup Crisco)
  • 4 Tablespoons water

Pie Filling

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen organic blueberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup Tapioca
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Topping

  • 2 - 3 Tablespoon cinnamon and sugar mixed
  • 1 beaten egg yolk

Instructions
 

Make the Pie Crust

  • Combine the flour, salt and butter in a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • With the processor running, slowly add the water until the dough forms into a ball. (You may have to stop and scrape the dough from the sides to be sure it is all blended.)
  • Roll the dough into a ball and divide it in half.
  • Then on a lightly floured counter, press each half into a disk.
  • Wrap in plastic separating the two disks with waxed paper and refrigerate for at least one hour.

Prepare the Filling

  • In a suitable bowl combine the blueberries, sugar, Tapioca, lemon juice and cinnamon.
  • Heat the oven to 450°F degrees.

Roll Out the Pie Crust

  • On a lightly floured surface (I use parchment, butcher paper or freezer paper) roll out one pastry disk (recipe above) to a 10-inch round.
  • Carefully fit it into the deep-dish pie pan.
  • Trim the crust allowing for about a 1-inch overhang.

Assemble the Pie

  • Mound the filling mixture onto the pie shell.
  • Roll out the other pie crust disk large enough to cover the top pie with some overhang.
  • Trim the top crust, fold the edge under the bottom crust and crimp the two together.
  • Cut steam vents in the top crust.
  • Brush the top crust with the egg yolk and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the top crust.

Bake & Eat

  • Bake at 450°F degrees for 10 minutes; then reduce the temperature to 350F degrees and bake for 50 minutes longer.
  • Let the pie cool before cutting into individual serving-size pieces.
