Ingredients
  

ingredients for the pie:

  • 1 unbaked homemade or frozen 9 inch deep dish pie shell
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1/3 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

ingredients for the blueberry topping:

  • 1/4 cup apricot preserves
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 1/2 pints fresh blueberries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a 9 inch pie plate with pastry. If using a frozen pie crust, it isn't necessary to thaw before cooking. Trim, seal and flute edges; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour and salt.
  • In a large bowl, beat the buttermilk, eggs, butter, lemon juice, lemon peel and vanilla. Add to sugar mixture and mix well. Pour into crust. Sprinkle with nutmeg.
  • Bake at 400° for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325°; bake 40-45 minutes longer or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Store in the refrigerator.
  • Meanwhile, make the blueberry topping by whisking together the preserves and water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until melted. Strain through a sieve, add the blueberries and stir to coat. Add blueberries to the top of cooled pie.
