Lemon Blueberry Summer Pie

After picking so many blueberries, we couldn't help ourselves on all the blueberry desserts. My boyfriend made this delicious lemon blueberry pie!! The flavors were amazing together, so much flavor in each bite.

This recipe is from King Arthur Baking:

Ingredients:

Crust: Pastry for one 9" single pie crust

Lemon Filling:

• 8 tbsp unsalted butter, cold

• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1 1/2 cups sugar

• 1 tbsp cornmeal

• 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch

• 4 large eggs

Streusel Topping:

• 1 cup King Arthur Unbleached All Purpose Flour, any brand is fine if you don't have this one.

• 1/3 cup sugar

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 3/4 tsp cinnamon

• 5 tbsp unsalted butter, cold

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Blueberry Filling:

• 3 cups fresh blueberries

• 1/3 cup sugar

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F, Lightly grease a 9" pie pan thats about 11/2" deep.

2. To make the crust: Roll the dough out to a 13" circle. Place in the prepared pie pan. Place the pie pan on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 375.

3. To make the lemon filling: Melt the butter and place in a medium bowl. Stir in the lemon juice, salt, sugar, cornmeal, and cornstarch. Mix in the eggs, one at a time, until the mixture is uniform. Pour into the pie shell.

4. Bake the pie on the bottom rack of the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the filling is almost set. Remove from the oven and place on a rack to cool a bit while you make the streusel and blueberry filling. Do not shut the oven off.

5. To make the streusel: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt and cinnamon. Melt the butter and add the vanilla; pour over the flour mixture and toss with a fork to form irregular crumbs. Set aside.

6. To make the blueberry filling: Place the berries in a 2 quart saucepan, rinse but don't dry the berries. Whisk together sugar, salt, and cornstarch, and stir into the berries. Place over medium- low heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the berries give up their liquid. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and gently spoon the berries over the lemon layer.

7. Sprinkles the streusel over the blueberry layer and return to the center rack of the over for 15-20 minutes, until the crumbs are lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, then chill thoroughly before slicing and serving.

8. Enjoy!
