Blueberries can be fresh or frozen.

Combine blueberries and cornstarch in medium bowl; toss lightly to coat. Add fruit spread and nutmeg; mix lightly. Spoon into crust. Roll out remaining dough to 11" circle; place over fruit mixture. Turn edges under and flute. Cut several slits or circle in top crust to allow steam to escape. If desired, cut leaves from pastry scraps to decorate top of pie.

Bake 10 minutes.

Remove pie from oven; reduce temperature to 350. Combine egg yolk and sour cream; brush lightly over crust. Return pie to oven and Cool on wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
