SUMMER PIE

Well, it turns out that, thanks to the pioneer woman, the easiest dessert you could possibly make is a blueberry pie. I have never made a blueberry pie before, and was totally and completely shocked by how simple and delicious it can be. You can make it more complicated if you want to make your own crust, but in this case, I needed a quick dessert, and didn't want to put in the effort to make a crust from scratch, so I just bought one at the grocery store.

To make the pie, you put the bottom crust in a pie pan and toss 2-3 pints of blueberries with as much sugar as you like and 2-3 Tablespoons of flour. Pour the blueberries into the bottom crust, add a few pats of butter and the top crust. Make some vent holes in the top crust, and bake for 45 minutes or so at 400F.... and voila... like magic, you have one of these....


Next time, I think I'm going to add a little lemon juice and zest to brighten the flavors up a bit more... but all in all, the work to deliciousness ratio of this pie is sky high!
