I decided to use a deep dish pie pan. I like the the look of the fluted edges. I think this may have been a mistake. My pie took FOREVER to bake. My oven tends to run a little hot, so I always set the oven for about 10 minutes less than the bake time. After setting my timer for the additional 10 minutes, I read the recipe again wondering what I had done wrong. As near as I could tell, NOTHING!! Not sure how long I ended up baking this pie. I am thinking it was somewhere around 60 or 70 minutes.
When I went to cut the first piece, I couldn't cut through the crust. Ok great, now I can't do pie crust with a ready made crust either???? I think it may have had something to do with how long this pie baked. No photograph of a piece of pie because there were no pieces. The dessert worked better in a bowl. The filling is delicious, a beautiful lemon flavor that matches so well with the blueberries. I would like to try this one again.
This week's recipe was chosen by Melissa at LuLu The Baker. Stop by her blog for the recipe and what I am sure is a beautiful SLICE of pie. You can find the links to all of the other SMS gals here.

OH Julie. I love your pie. You will feel better when for your trials, when you see mine. I am uploading now. I stayed up all night and my pie failed.
ReplyDeleteI tell my class how we learn from our mistakes. I don't know what my mistake is.
It seems like a few people had issues with the recipe so don't feel bad! The filling sounds absolutely scrumptious though. I'm pretty sure lemon and blueberries were made for each other.
ReplyDeleteIt does indeed look great and as long as the filling tasted great then you can blame the stupid person who did the ready made crust ;-)
ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad, I'm not good at making pie crusts either. This recipe sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really wonderful. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious!
ReplyDeleteYour pie is beautiful! I would have never known you had a problem with the crust. I guess after reading about your mishap I'm glad I wasn't able to find my deep dish pie plate since that is what I was planning to use until it went up missing! I'm glad you got to enjoy this in a bowl :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not a baker at all and it looks great! but I love how you fixed it by making it a "bowl" dessert!
ReplyDeleteCrust seems to be a common nemesis! I always struggle with it too. I did the all butter crust this time and it shrunk up and got browner than I'd hoped. Oh well! Your pie look fantastic! I love the deep dish. Pie in a bowl is just as good on a plate! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love your photo Julie! The blueberries look so vibrant and fresh. I completely skipped the pie crust this week in favor of a graham cracker crust, and wish I hadn't as it didn't go very well :)
ReplyDeleteYour pie looks beautiful! The lemon slice in the middle adds such a wonderful touch. This was my first time making my own pie dough and I was not too successful. Regardless I had fun baking along with you guys for the first time.
ReplyDeletePie crust and me don't get along either. One day I hope to face my fear. :) That is one gorgeous looking pie you've got though!
ReplyDeleteYour pie looks gorgeous, even if you couldn't slice it. The filling was the best part, so as long as you got to eat that part, I think it was a success! Thanks for baking with me this week.

Too bad it didn't work out, but at least it looks beautiful! Pie crusts are the hardest things to make.
ReplyDeleteWell, your pie sure looks pretty! And I can just imagine the taste... yum! I wonder if you needed more time because of the frozen blueberries. Serving in a bowl was a perfect solution!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chuckle...LOL. I've ruined recipes with premade crusts too. Now I don't feel so worthless.
ReplyDeleteThe pie is beautiful piled high with your blueberries even if it didn't slice out just right. I still think it's how a recipe tastes that matters anyway =)
ReplyDeleteLemon and blueberry just sing together!! I don't have a deep dish pie pan, must get one!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had breakfast yet and I'd kill for a slice of this. Okay.... I'd slightly injure someone.
ReplyDeleteYour pie looks beautiful! I made a half recipe in a shallow weird-size (seven-inch?) pan and it baked perfectly, so a shallow dish may be the way to go.
ReplyDeleteThe flavors of the blueberry and lemon sounds wonderful. I wonder why that darned crust didn't work, though. This puzzle sounds worth figuring :) Great picture!
ReplyDeleteHope you can find the Marie Callendar's crust. My sister lives in Texas and she said she can only find it during the holidays. I told her to stock up. It looks great even if it didn't hold together. Who cares! Yum, great flavor combination.
ReplyDeletei love that picture-your pie looks great!
ReplyDeleteI hate when you can't figure out what goes wrong with a recipe. That filling does sound wonderful though and like it could be enjoyed with or without a crust.
