Blueberry Rhubarb Pie

Blueberry Rhubarb Pie has a homemade buttery flaky pie crust filled with fresh fruit and a hint of cinnamon.

What’s the best part of summer? Homemade pie of course!! My blueberry pie crust is made with lots of butter and tastes just like a summer dream with any fruit filling. The combo of blueberry with rhubarb is a softly sweet and sour flavor I’m currently addicted to. Adding cinnamon and nutmeg instead of lemon juice helps with the tartness. Pair it with a big scoop of ice cream for a hot summer day!

What you need to make this pie crust design:

• Cookie cutter of choice.
• One pie crust
• Sparkling Sugar
• Fresh blueberries and rhubarb!
• Local Honey
