Blueberry Pie!

[I interrupt this sequence of posts about Reading Assessment to share oldest daughter's wonderful pie recipe!]

Yesterday dd adjusted a recipe from Whatchagot Stew and used our simple pie crust recipe to come up with an award winning blueberry pie... award winning to us!  We overindulged after a scanty dinner and didn't leave a single crumb in the pie pan.  It will probably see its way into a few county fairs :).

It's healthier than store-bought simply by not having toxic additives nor trans fats, etc.  However, you can kick up the health factor a few notches by using sprouted whole wheat flour, a gluten-free flour mix, or a nut crust.  You could also use organic blueberries (ours are pesticide-free), raw organic butter, organic maple syrup, and coconut oil.

Ingredients:
For Filling:
- 1 bag of frozen blueberries (original calls for 4 C fresh huckleberries)
- 3 tablespoons of flour
- Dash of salt
- 3/4 C rapadura or sweetener of your choice
- 2 tablespoons butter

For Crust (make two batches)(I originally got this recipe from cooks.com but could never find it again to give the link):
- 1/2 C oil of your choice (usually I use sunflower or safflower)
- 1/4 C milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 C flour

Directions:
For Crust:
Mix all of the ingredients in the pie pan and smoosh it up around the sides.  Make another to roll out for the top.

For Filling:
Mix everything except butter.  Pour into the pie crust.  Put dabs of butter on top.  Gently put the other crust on top, crimp the edges with a fork, and make slits.

Bake at 350F for approximately 45 minutes until edges are golden brown and the center is cooked.

I didn't think of a taking a picture until the cook was literally scraping the crumbs off the bottom of the pie pan.
