Directions: |
Directions:Heat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, water and almond extract.
Remove the pie crust from the pouch; unroll on cookie sheet. Spread 1/4 cup of the almonds over the crust; lightly press into the crust.
Spoon blueberry mixture onto center of the crust to within 2 inches of the edge to the crust. Fold 2 inch edge of crust over the blueberry mixture, crimping crust slightly (about 7-8 folds of the crust, each overlapping, leaving center of the tart open.)
Sprinkle crust edge with sugar crystals.
Bake 20 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of almonds over the blueberry mixture. Bake 5-10 minutes longer till the crust is golden. Cool 15 minutes before serving (time needed for blueberry mixture to set a bit). |

Notes: This is a great, quick recipe for summer, when you have guests just stop by, or when you just need a little something sweet for an evening dessert! I guarantee that no one will know you did not make the crust yourself. Years ago, my Mom was over and tried a pie I made and commented on how good the crust was. She asked for the recipe and I told her it was my "secret" recipe, but I would give it to her anyway! She made a pie using my "secret" (Pillsbury refrigerated dough) and served it to my Aunt
Vi who was always the made from "scratch", pie crust purist. My Aunt Vi LOVED it and asked for the recipe. My Mom said it was Cindy's secret recipe and she could not give it to her! Well, . . . . . I guess no more "secret recipe" now since this is published online!!!!!
