Tomorrow marks National Pie Day, so I decided to give a new pie recipe a try! I was craving something tangy and decided to mix all the frozen berries in my freezer into one delicious, gooey dessert. It was quick, easy and really hit the spot.
Recipe:
Crust
4 C almond meal
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 C grass-fed butter (cold)
pinch of sea salt
4 eggs
Filling
1 C frozen organic blueberries
1/2 C frozen organic raspberries
8 whole frozen organic strawberries
1/2 C maple syrup
1/4 C maple sugar
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- In a food processor pulse the almond meal, baking soda and sea salt until evenly blended (get rid of any chunks that might exist in your almond meal)
- Add in the butter cut into small pieces
- Pulse the mixture a few times
- Then add the eggs – one at a time
- Pulse the mixture slowly until the dough comes together
- Turn out dough into a greased pie pan and push down until it evenly covers the pan
- Using a fork, poke small wholes into the crust to let it breathe
- Bake for 20 minutes
- While the pie is baking, put all the filling ingredients into a saucepan on medium heat
- Cook the filling down for about 15 minutes, stirring periodically
- Take the pie crust out of the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust and let the entire pie cool — the filling with thicken
- Enjoy National Pie Day!
