Pie crustIf you don't have time to make your own, store-bought crust is an easy time saver for this recipe.
While I enjoy a flaky and buttery homemade crust, store-bought crusts are almost as good as the real thing.
Using a food processor is my secret weapon for whipping up a homemade pie crust in no time. If you haven't tried making a pie crust with your food processor before, I highly suggest giving it a try - it takes just seconds for your dough to come together!

Blueberry Galette
Ingredients
Pie Crust
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- ¾ cup unsalted butter cold
- 4-5 tablespoons ice water
Pie Filling
- 2 ½ cups blueberries
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Egg Wash
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar as a garnish
Instructions
- Pie Crust: In a food processor (or a bowl) combine flour, salt, sugar, and lemon zest. Pulse (or cut) butter into flour mixture. Continue to pulse a few more times until butter is in pea sized chunks. Pulse in ice water 1 tablespoon at a time until dough begins to come together. (Test your dough by pinching some together with your fingers. If it holds together, it is ready.) Remove from food processor (or bowl) onto a piece of plastic wrap. Form into a disc and wrap in plastic. Place in refrigerator to chill for one hour (or up to two days).
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a bowl, add blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, flour, and vanilla extract. Stir to combine. Set aside.
- Roll out dough onto a lightly floured surface into about a 12" circle. Transfer dough onto parchment lined baking sheet.
- Carefully pour blueberry filling into center of pie crust, leaving a 2" border around edges. Fold edges up over filling, overlapping slightly.
- In a bowl, whisk together egg and water to make an egg wash. Gently brush egg wash over crust. Sprinkle turbinado sugar over crust.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling. Remove from oven and allow to cool before serving.
