If you are ever in the mood for a dessert that you don't have to feel too guilty about, this is one to try. There isn't too much in it that is bad for you, and all the good stuff in the blueberries should more than make up for it, right?
I've made this several times, and it's been wildly successful every time. Let's just say, it never gets to sit on the counter until it gets thrown out like the apple pie my husband brought home from the grocery store last week. Is it possible I've ruined him forever? Could it be that he is so spoiled by homemade that anything less isn't nearly good enough? If that is the case, it's not a bad thing. It just means I am that good.
Maybe someday if you're nice enough, I'll share my apple pie recipe. Until then, this will have to do.
In a bowl, combine the following until it gets nice and crumbly:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 4 tbsp butter, room temperature
Then add the following:
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk
Filling:
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- 4 cups blueberries (can use frozen, just decrease water to 1/8 cup)
Stir sugar, cornstarch and water together in large saucepan, then add blueberries. Cook on medium until thickened, stirring frequently.
Pour hot filling into baking dish, top with crust mixture and bake at 375 for 30-40 minutes until top of crust is golden brown and set fully.
Serve with vanilla ice cream. That is, if you want to share. ;)
