INGREDIENTS

FOR PIE

1 1/2 cup all purpose flour

1/2 cup cold butter( I have tried with Cold coconut oil too) results differ but it tastes good and healthy too

1 tsp vanilla powder

1/4 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar

FOR FILLING

Strawberries and blueberries

lemon juice

coconut sugar

1/4 cup almond meal

Almond butter 1 tbsp optional

milk or apricot jam for brushing

For pastry base

Mix everything in a food processor and run so the butter gets incorporated in the flour and it should become sand like consistency.you can even do it by hand.

bring the flour together to make a dough.You can add a tbsp of cold water if needed.

Cover with cling film and refrigerate.

1 cup chopped strawberries

1 cup blueberries

1 tbsp coconut sugar

juice of half a lime .Mix and refrigerate

When you are ready to assemble, roll the dough in a relatively thick circle

sprikle some almond meal over the pie.I also drizzled   some almond butter for extra indulgence .

Place the berry mix in the centre leaving around 1-1 1/2 inch border.Sprinkle some cardamom powder if you like.

cover the sides in a rustic manner so that the berries look nestled in the pie.

Brush the pie with some milk I like to brush pies with thinned apricot jam. Now bake in a preheated oven for 30-35 min at 180c .

Once cooled sprinkle with almond flakes , slice and serve .

It’s a very versatile dessert and you can use plums,peaches,berries and even tomatoes to make galette
