Cherry-Blueberry Crumb Pie
My husband’s favorite pie is cherry, and mine is blueberry. I decided to combine them with a ready-made organic pie crust and top it with crumb topping. It was simple and delicious! Ingredients: 9-inch pie crust 1 can (organic) cherry pie filling 1 cup wild blueberries (fresh or frozen) 1/2 teaspoon almond extract Crumb topping : 3/4 cup oats 3/4 cup flour 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 6 tablespoons unsalted butter Instructions: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Prepare
