Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Prepare the pie crust in a pie dish and set aside.

In a bowl, combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon; mix gently.

In another bowl, mix flour and salt; cut in butter until crumbly.

Add the blueberry mixture to the flour mixture; stir until combined.

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading evenly.

Cover with another layer of pie crust or a lattice top, sealing edges.

Brush the top with a mixture of egg and milk for shine.

Cut slits in the top crust for steam vents if using a solid top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until crust is golden.

Remove from oven and let cool before serving.
