Scale
For the Crust:
- 2 cups fresh huckleberries
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 prepared pie crusts (for a 9-inch pie)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, mix huckleberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Roll out one pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges, leaving a 1-inch overhang.
- Pour the huckleberry filling into the crust. Dot the top with butter pieces.
- Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to vent.
- Brush the top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
