In the Kitchen: A Patterned Pie

We’ve been blueberry picking pretty much every week this season, and we’ve definitely eaten our share of blueberry muffins and crisps made with the sweet summer berries. It had been a bit since I pulled together a pie, so when Serena and Lily asked if I’d be up for creating a patterned pie with one of their gorgeous custom patterns, I was all for it!

My trusty assistant Max is never far when there’s baking involved ;) , and between the two of us, I hope we did their beautiful Sayulita pattern justice! Pretty sure it was made for blueberries!

Here’s our blueberry pie recipe, if you’re up for making a sweet patterned treat of your own!

A pie is nothing without a good crust, and one of my favorites is this recipe from the Pioneer Woman.  

For the filling, mix freshly picked blueberries (enough to fill your pie dish!) with 1c + 2 tbsp of sugar, 4 tbsp cornstarch, and 1 tsp of cinnamon. 

Once you’ve filled your pie and added the top crust or pattern, mix an egg white with a little water and brush lightly on top of the crust (and sprinkle a little extra sugar on top for good measure!). 

Bake at 425 for the first 15 minutes, then cover with a pie crust shield (like this one) and bake at 375 for the remaining 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling. Enjoy!
