Blueberry Pie (WW Points)
Yield: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon table salt
- 8 tablespoons reduced-calorie butter, stick, chilled and cut up
- 8 tablespoons fat-free butter, tub, chilled
- 5 tablespoons cold water
- 5 cups blueberries
- 1/4 cups cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, 1 teaspoon of sugar, salt and both butters. Mix with a fork (or both hands) until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 4 tablespoons of water and mix until dough can be formed into a ball, adding more water if necessary. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and divide into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a 12 inch round. Press one round into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch pie plate, allowing dough to hang over sides; set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine blueberries, 1/3 cup of sugar, cornstarch, zest and vanilla extract. Toss to combine. Pour mixture into pie crust.
- Place second pie crust on top of blueberries and pinch two crusts together to form a seal. Using two fingers, pinch around edges to form a decorative rim.
- Whisk together egg white and 1 tablespoon water. Brush mixture over surface of ie.
- Sprinkle with remaining teaspoon sugar.
- Prick top crust all over with a fork or sharp knife to allow steam to escape during cooking.
- Transfer pie to a baking sheet.
- Bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbling out of holes, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Cool on a rack, about 10 minutes, before slicing into 10 pieces.
