Blueberry Almond Pie

It's berry season! I've made this recipe with a combination of fresh raspberries from my garden and frozen blueberries, which I always have in my freezer!

I usually make my pie crusts with whole grain organic spelt flour. It has much more flavour than regular white flour and has the added benefit of lots of fibre. I also substitute the sugar with fructose. You can use Splenda if you like, but I don't like its aftertaste. Give it a try... it is heavenly!

 
 

Blueberry Almond Pie

1 pie dough, rolled out
2 medium eggs
1/3 cup (125 ml) fructose
1/3 cup (75 ml) butter, softened

3/4 cup almond powder (ground almonds)
2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
1/2 cup milk (regular, soy, almond or rice milk)
1 tbsp (15 ml) icing sugar (decorative)

 



Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out dough and place in a 9 inch pie plate.

With food processor or electric mixer, mix eggs, sugar, butter, flour, milk and almond powder.

Spread blueberries in pie shell. Pour egg mixture over blueberries. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Cool and sprinkle with icing sugar.
