Stages of cooking
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray.
-
Mix blueberries and cornstarch together in a bowl until all the blueberries are coated. Add sugar, orange juice, orange zest, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to blueberries; stir until well mixed.
-
Press 1 pie crust into the prepared pie dish. Brush the bottom crust with ½ of the beaten egg white. Pour blueberry mixture into the pie crust.
-
Lay the second crust over the blueberry filling, crimping the 2 crusts together to seal. Cut 4 1/2-inch slits into the top crust. Brush the top crust with the remaining egg wash. Cover crust edges with strips of aluminum foil to prevent burning.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, 50 to 60 minutes.
