Ingredients:
Crust:
- 2 packages pie crusts
Filling:
- 20 oz can blueberry pie filling
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 tsp cornstarch
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray a glass pie pan with baking spray.
- To make the blueberry filing, combine all of the ingredients together in a medium sized bowl. Stir until fully combined.
- Unroll and press one package of pie crust into the bottom of the pie pan.
- Spoon the blueberry pie filling into the crust and spread it out.
- For a lattice pie crust top, unroll and cut the crust into 1” strips. Weave 9 strips of crust onto the top of the blueberry filling. Use a fork to press the edges of the crust then cut the excess crust from the top edge of the pan.
- Place the pan into the oven to bake for 1 hour in a 350-degree F preheated oven, or until the crust has baked through and is golden brown.
- Remove the pan from the oven and place it onto a cooling rack to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
