Baking Recipe: Apple and Blueberry Pie with Vanilla Bean Sauce


How does an apple and blueberry pie sound to you right now? Don't you think a freshly baked apple pie served straight out of the oven sounds divine? Would you care to have one? Not only that, I made them in pocket or mini sizes.. is that how I should put it? Instead of a large pie, I wanted them in individual servings. So everyone could have their little pocket of warm goodies.

Each apple and blueberry pie will be served with chilled creamy vanilla bean sauce. I like how this simple pie can satisfy any crave. It somehow makes you feel warm, cuddly and would probably like to snuggle up under a throw over.

This recipe does not really require you to have fresh blueberries. You can use canned or like me; I always keep a stash of the berries frozen in my freezer. So when you need some berry goodness, just take it out and whip up some muffins or bread or a mini pie. If you're feeling a little blue, or coldness of fall is kicking in; try baking some of these. Make some extras, and its good to freeze up to a month. Just heat up the oven and pop them in and bake till they are golden in colour. Serve them with your favourite custard sauce, or have them plain or with some good old fashion vanilla ice-cream. This will certainly help fight those cold nights, or kick some blues away. Till then!!

  5. I do have some frozen blueberries and this is a great recipe for them. A big pie is just not something I make due to our small family, so these little gems are perfect. Great touch with the vanilla sauce. Yum!
