Berry Pie



I used my favorite pie-crust recipe, but with Bobs Red Mill 100% whole wheat pastry flour. This crust was heavenly!

Remember to be nice to your dough as you combine the ingredients. There should be visible lumps of butter in your dough as you role it out.

I filled it with:

3 C. blueberries
3 C. blackberries
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 C. sugar
4 T. cornstarch

then baked it for 35 minutes at 350*
