Egg Wash1 egg + ⅛ teaspoon salt + 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
If you're making your pie crust from scratch, prepare the dough and line the pie plate. Place the pie shell in the freezer until the filling is prepared.
1 Gluten Free Pie Crust
Preheat the oven to 400 °F (204 °C)
Combine the oats, gluten free flour, brown sugar and salt in a small bowl. Mix well.
¾ Cup (72 g) Gluten Free Oats, ⅓ Cup (49 g) Gluten Free 1-to-1 Flour Blend, ⅓ Cup (70 g) Brown Sugar, ¼ teaspoon Salt
Add the vegan butter and use a fork to cut it into the dry ingredients until it forms chunky crumbles. Place the topping the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
5 Tablespoons (70 g) Vegan Butter
Add the blueberries, brown sugar, cornstarch and salt to a large mixing bowl. Zest and juice one lemon and add it to the blueberries. Stir everything together until the berries are well coated.
6 Cups (900 g) Fresh Blueberries, ½ Cup (108 g) Brown Sugar, 5 Tablespoons (40 g) Cornstarch, ¼ teaspoon Salt, 1 Lemon
If you want to use an egg wash, combine the egg, salt and water in a small dish and whisk well. Brush the egg wash along the edge of the crust.
Egg Wash
Pour the blueberry filling into the prepared pie crust.
Crumble the topping over the pie filling.
Place the pie pan on a baking sheet. Bake on the bottom rack of the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes or until the filling is very bubbly and the topping is lightly golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and cool to room temperature before slicing. I prefer to let the pie sit overnight to make sure the filling gels up, but 6-8 hours would be sufficient if you need to serve it the same day.
Notes
STORAGE: Wrap leftover pie with aluminum foil and store at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The crumble topping will soften during storage. SUBSTITUTIONS: If you're not gluten free, use regular oats and all purpose flour for the crumb topping. If you're not dairy free, use unsalted dairy butter in place of the vegan butter. All of the measurements are the same.
