Blueberry with a Hint of Lemon Pie

Autry's favorite pie is the one his Aunt T makes. He told me what she did (how she used cream cheese, blueberry pie filling, and cool whip) and then I created this recipe for his birthday as a surprise. Fortunately he loved it! And so did everyone else! Mom said she gives it a 5 star rating... she doesn't give me those very often either. :)

Crust for 1 Pie

1 1/3 cup flour

1 Tablespoon sugar

1/2 cup shortening

5-8 Tablespoons of water

Crust for 2 Pies

2 cups flour

3 Tablespoons sugar

3/4 cup shortening

1/4 cup water

Crust Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425.

2. Pour flour and sugar into a bowl. Stir until blended.

3. Using a fork, mix the shortening into the flour mix. It will have a crumbly texture when this is done.

4. Adding 2 Tablespoons of water at a time, stir in water until the dough sticks together, but is not sticky. (For 2 crusts I used almost the whole 1/4 cup of water.)

5. For 2 pies, divide the dough in half. Roll out the dough on a floured counter. Place in a greased pie pan. Fix the edge as you wish.

5. Bake in oven for 10 minutes.
