Blueberry Pie with Lemon
Yum
Blueberry Pie with lemon is easy homemade blueberry lattice pie with cinnamon, lemon zest, and lemon juice. One of the best fruit pies ever!
I am sure that every family has its own blueberry pie recipe. We are no exception. To make the flavor a bit different, I have made a slight change and added some lemon zest to the crust. It is not a huge thing to do but it makes a big difference, like all the little things that bring change to familiar dishes when you start developing your family desserts.
Also, there is one other thing I really like to do when baking: instead of using a big, normal pie dish, I made two small pies. For blueberry filling, I had some frozen fruits and prepared pie for baking so frugal way!
Thatβs how we both get more crust to share, and there is always a separate dish of this pie recipe for office brunch! There are so many foodies over there! π π
So, what you see are two little lemon blueberry pies. The rounded dishes are of 6 and 7 inches in diameter respectively.
