Berry Delicious! HEALTHY Berry Whole-Wheat Pie/Crumble

First of all, yes, yes, I know…brilliant title. I thought of it myself. And second of all, it IS healthy and GUILT FREE. Why? There’s barely any sugar in it. It’s weird. But I don’t lie. And for record, this is my first pie/crumble/whatever-you-want-to-call-it that I’ve made by myself from scratch. I took it from here, but as usual, modified. It didn’t take too long either. It was a very pleasant process.

Ingredients (Pie Filling)

  • 2 boxes of blackberries
  • 2 boxes of raspberries
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons flour

Ingredients (Crust)

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1.5 sticks butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 12 teaspoons cold water

So first, let’s take care of the pie filling (will take approx…2 minutes!).

Directions (Pie Filling)

  • Put the berries, flour, and sugar into a bowl (take note that it’s just the 2 teaspoons of flour)

Berries!

Mix it up

Directions (Crust)

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  • Combine the flour and salt in a big mixing bowl (this time 2 cups flour)
  • Cut up the cold butter into little pieces and place in flour mixture

Butter and flour

  • Next, add enough cold water for the flour to stick together and can be rolled into a massive ball of dough.

Monster ball

  • Place in the freezer for 15 minutes
  • Take out of freezer, and use glad wrap or wax paper to really roll it out as thin as you want the crust
  • Once the crust is rolled out, place half of it on the bottom of your pan (or whatever you may use)

Bottom crust

  • Next, get that fruit filling in there, to make it look truly beautiful.

Mmmm

  • Using the rest of the pie dough, make the top of the crumble/pie

Bake me!

  • Put in the oven for 35-45 minutes. Mine took about 42 minutes I would say.
  • ENJOY!

Even though the crust wasn’t perfect, I definitely had two servings. Have fun!
