Lemon Meringue Pie BY HAILEY RASMUSSEN
Blueberry Sour Cream Pie BY MELISSA SPELTS
Adapted from infinetaste.com
1 graham cracker crust (my adaptation) Filling ¾ cup granulated sugar 1 cup sour cream 1 egg 1 tsp. vanilla ½ tsp. almond extract 1 Tbsp. lemon juice (freshly squeezed is best) ½ tsp. salt 2 Tbsp. flour 2 ½ cups blueberries Crumble Topping 1 ½ Tbsp. cold butter 3 Tbsp. flour 2 Tbsp. sugar pinch of salt 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 2. Mix together sugar, sour cream, egg, vanilla, almond extract, lemon juice, salt, and flour until smooth. Fold in blueberries. Pour into baked graham cracker pie crust. 3. Bake for 30 minutes. 4. While the pie is baking, prepare the crumble topping. We used our dough blender and cutter to mix the butter into the flour, but you can also use two knives. Once you have pea-sized butter in the flour mixture, stir in the sugar and salt. 5. After the pie bakes for 30 minutes, remove from the oven and add your crumble topping to the top. Bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Cool completely before serving.
