All Berry Pie

Ian and I do the majority of our shopping at Sam's Club in bulk, which is normally great savings, unless we buy too much produce and allow it to go to waste. We had a lot of extra fruit leftover from our fruit pizza, so I decided to make a Berry Pie.

I'm not a huge baker. I love cooking because you can just throw ingredients together and add more based on taste. Baking seems to be more of a precise science, with exact measurements. I tend to cheat a bit when baking is involved and my sister Sheena would consider it unacceptable as she is a wonderful baker and enjoys making things from scratch. For this recipe I already had a frozen pie crust, which made the prep time quick and easy; always a good thing for a weeknight.

Ingredients

1 cup fresh strawberries, halved
2 Tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups Blackberries
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
1 frozen Pie Crust
1/2 recipe Fruit Pizza Orange Glaze

Topping
1 package oatmeal
1 Tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, stir together sugar and cornstarch and Fruit Glaze. Add strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries; gently toss until berries are coated.
2. Prepare Frozen Pie Crust per instructions on package. Stir berry mixture, and transfer to the pie crust. Top with oatmeal, sugar, and cinnamon. To prevent overbrowning, cover the edge of the pie with foil.
3. Bake at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes. Remove foil. Bake for an additional 35-40 minutes at 350 degrees F. Cool on a wire rack.

I have been enjoying a piece each morning for breakfast. Since there is so much fresh fruit in the recipe, I'm thinking it must be healthy!
