I had a store bought pie crust sitting in my fridge from way back when. Pie crust is one of the few things that I completely think it is worth just buying. My go-to use is for making quiche. Mr. J can only eat so much quiche though so I always end up with just one pie crust left. I guess that means pie.
I cheated again and used frozen fruit. I wanted blueberries but after I filled the pie shell it seemed a bit underfilled. I added about a 1/2 cup of raspberries to fill it out.
Make some struesel.
Top the pie and bake.
It was good.
Very good!
That aboue sums it up! Happy Pi Day!
