This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would have preferred a more tart filling.

Not a huge fan of the lemon crust. Would have rather had an all-butter crust.

This blueberry pie with lemon crust was a delight to make and even better to eat. The lemon crust added a wonderful tang that complemented the sweetness of the blueberries perfectly. I will definitely be making this pie again!
