Ingredients

  • 6 4-ounce mason jars

Berry Filling

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen whole cherries
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 Teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
  • 1 Tablespoon corn starch (divided)

Whole Wheat Flour Crust

  • 1/2 cup room temperature non-dairy butter (I use Earth Balance)
  • 2 eggs or egg replacement for a vegan option
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

Topping

  • 3 Tablespoons very soft non-dairy butter (I use Earth Balance)
  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup whole wheat flour

Instructions

Berry Filling

  • In a medium sauce pan, heat the cherries and blueberries over medium heat. Add the honey and vanilla to the mixture and turn the stove on low, simmer and cook down until the fruit is soft and begins to combine, about 10 minutes. Stir often to break up larger chunks of fruit.
  • Add the corn starch 1 teaspoon at a time, stirring to combine and letting sit for 2 minutes before adding more until fruit mixture is not watery.

Crust

  • In the bowl of an electric mixing bowl, add the non-dairy butter, eggs, salt, whole wheat flour, honey, and almond extract. Combine thoroughly with mixer, adding in more flour if needed until dough becomes a ball.
  • Remove the dough from the bowl and shape into a large ball. Place in the freezer on a piece of parchment paper for 5-10 minutes to set up.

Topping

  • Combine all topping ingredients in a small mixing bowl with a wooden spoon. Mixture will be crumbly.

Putting it Together

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place a 2-inch ball of crust dough in each Mason jar to cover the bottom; pressing gently with your fingertips so that the dough covers the bottom of the jar and comes up the sides to touch the top rim evenly.
  • Spoon the berry filling into each jar. Top each jar with about 2 Tablespoons of topping.
  • Bake for 35 mins (you may have to cover the pies with aluminum foil for the last 15 minutes to avoid burning the crust). Let cool and enjoy!

Notes

Bonus: these pies can be pre-assembled and frozen with the lids on so you can make single serving desserts whenever you want to!
