We had made blueberry pie earlier this month. We have finally figured out the photo upload auto-backup with Google Photos problem (hopefully) It appears that it will not backup if wifi is turned on for some odd reason. Anyways, we had fresh blueberries and the first thing we decided to make was this blueberry pie. It was really yummy wit some vanilla ice cream. The filling came out pretty perfect. The crust we used a pilsbury premade crust so it was just okay, but it was super fast and easy!

What we liked:
The filling was really great and it was very quick and simple to put together! Will definitely keep for future!
What we didn't like:
Nothing, it was great - The crust would be better if it was home-made - so we should work on that next time.
What Kaspian thought about it:
He was not into the pie. Astrid loved the ice cream that came with the pie.
Next time:
Make our own crust
