I found a delicious sounding recipe on The English Kitchen for Blueberry Oatmeal Cookie Pie. I had intended to make some Blueberry Oatmeal Cookies, but when I saw this recipe, and the photos that accompanied it, I just had to try it out.
Now there are lots of ingredients in this one, but luckily I had everything, including cardamom which I had ground myself a while back. So I was all set to get baking. Everything is very straightforward in making the pie, the only messy bit being applying the icing, and as that doesn’t need to be applied neatly, there is no issue there either.
The aroma emanating from the oven as the pie bakes is lovely. The end result also turned out very well. The English Kitchen certainly wasn’t exaggerating when commenting that this pie is delicious, so I urge you all to give it a try, I guarantee that you will enjoy it enormously.
The only change I made to the recipe was to sprinkle a few extra dried blueberries on the top of the pie, and to press them in slightly, before I put it in the oven to bake. It wasn’t really necessary as the icing covered them anyway.
