One Crust Blueberry Pie

One of the things I love most about summer is fresh fruit! It seems like so many wonderful things are in season and so delicious! Blueberries, peaches, watermelon, and cherries are all some of my summer favorites! And when we purchased lots of blueberries from Trader Joe's, I jumped at the opportunity to make a pie! However, I wanted to make a pie that was very wholesome, delicious, and even healthy! And it was all of those things! It is a little different from your typical blueberry pie, since there is only one crust, which is composed of whole wheat flour and canola oil instead of white flour and butter. Also, the filling is essentially just blueberries, along with a little flour, sugar, and cinnamon. And it was soooo good!! And easier than I expected too, so that was a nice surprise! It took less than 15 minutes to prepare.  I guess the saying "easy as pie" rings true! :)

Makes 1 pie (8 inch)
Ingredients:

for the crust:
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
1/3 cup canola oil
1/2 teaspoon salt if you're into that (I'm not haha)
2-3 tablespoons cold water

for the filling:
3 cups fresh blueberries
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter or margarine

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

To make the crust, mix the flour, canola oil, and water together until all of the flour is moist. Add more oil if it seems dry. Then, mold the dough into the pan you will use to bake it in the shape/thickness that you want it. You could get fancy if you want, but I kept it basic.

To make the filling, mix the flour, sugar, and cinnamon, and then add the blueberries. After everything is mixed together, pour the filling into your prepared pie crust. Put a little butter or margarine on various locations on the top and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the crust browns and the juices start bubbling.

And enjoy! :)
