image

Ingredients: 3 1/2 tablespoons of agave,1/4 cup agave nectar (again, not needed if your fruit is sweet),1/2 cup almond flour,8 ounces frozen package of mixed berries, thawed,2 sticks of very cold butter (I freeze mine), cut into cubes,16 ounces frozen packages of cherries, thawed,1/4 cup coconut flour, sifted,1 cup all-purpose flour,3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice,1/2 teaspoon fiore di Sicilia or orange extract,3 tablespoons tapioca flour (or corn starch or arrowroot),3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
Instructions:

  1. Make the crust:Pulse the dry ingredients 5-6 times.
  2. Add 2 sticks of very cold butter (I freeze mine), cut into cubes. Pulse until the ingredients resemble very coarse meal.
  3. Adding the agave nectar and fiore di Sicilia flavoring (can substitute orange extract) one tablespoon at a time.Watch to see the dough just comes together.Divide the dough into two parts, one larger than the other.Form each into a flat, round shape.Wrap each disk in plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.While the dough is chilling, make the filling.In a large bowl, combine all the filling ingredients.
  4. Mix until well incorporated (it will be very soupy).Take the dough out of the fridge.
  5. Let it warm enough to be able to roll it out.
  6. Roll out the crust to fit it to your pie dish.You may need to patch some, but none will show to your eaters.Wrap the pie dish in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
  7. Pour the filling into the crust.Again, wrap the pie in plastic and chill.
  8. Roll out the other dough disk.Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut pieces for the top crust.Take the pie out of the fridge and decorate the top.Just remember to leave spots for steam to escape.Cover the edges with foil and bake at 325 degrees F for 40 minutes.
  9. Remove foil and bake until golden brown top and the filling is bubbling.
  10. Let cool and enjoy!
