Ingredients

  • *for the crust*
  • ½ cup pecans
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoon all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon sugar
  • 8 tablespoon {1 stick} unsalted butter cold
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • *for the filling*
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • ¼ cup sugar plus more for topping
  • 2 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  • First, toast the nuts in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until fragrant and slightly darkened in color.
  • Chop the nuts in a food processor, then add to a large bowl. Mix in the flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Cut the cold butter into small cubes, add it to the flour mixture, and use a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
  • Add in 3-4 tablespoon of cold water, just until the dough comes together. Pat into a circle, and wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
  • When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Lightly flour a clean surface, and use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into a 12 inch circle. Transfer to the baking sheet.
  • In a medium bowl, toss together the blueberries, lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch. Dump the filling into the center of the rolled out dough, then gently fold over the edges to create a crust.
  • Lightly brush the crust with the milk and a little bit of extra sugar, then bake for 45-50 minutes, until filling is bubbly and crust is golden brown and crisp.
  • Serve warm with ice cream!
