Blueberry Pie

I never had blueberry pie as a child, but now I devour it at every opportunity.  Of course, it cannot be the ones you get at your local grocery stores as those are just laden with sugar and definitely not enough blueberry.  I want a full blast of blueberry with each and every bite.

I found this Blueberry Pie recipe on Little B Cooks.  I don't need to look any further.  This is the only recipe I need going forward.  Normally whenever we make this recipe we double it up and make 2 pies!   The recipe below is for 1 pie.

Ingredients:
1 9-inch frozen pie shell package (contains 2)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons flour
6 cups blueberries
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
pinch of salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon cream

Directions:
1)  Melt butter in medium saucepan on medium heat.  Add flour and stir to combine, about 1 minute.  Add half the blueberries and all the sugar and cook 8-10 minutes.  The sugar will be dissolved and the mixture has thickened.  Add the remaining blueberries and the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine.  Raise the heat to medium-high and cook for another minute, then remove from heat.  Let the filling cool to room temp. 
2)  Spoon blueberry mixture into one of pie plate. 
3)  Cut the other pie shell into strips about 1/2 inch wide.  Place strips on top of filling, creating a crisscross lattice pattern.  Trim off excess crust and crimp the edges with together with a fork. 
4)  Place pie in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.  
5)  Place pie on cookie sheet and brush top with cream or 1/2 & 1/2, then sprinkle with sugar.  Bake at 375 for 50-60 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
