Tuesdays With Dorie: Double-Crusted Blueberry Pie
Alright, this post is seriously photo-heavy--sorry. But I couldn't help it; I'm excited. It's my first week as a Tuesdays With Dorie baker and I couldn't be happier about my decision to join the group, or this week's recipe: Double-Crusted Blueberry Pie. Kudos to Amy of South in Your Mouth, who chose the recipe.
To be honest, most of my photos were taken of the one lonely single-crusted blueberry pie I made with leftover crust -- I just couldn't get over how gorgeous the filling looked spilling out of the ramekin. But despite my usual aversion to pie crust (it's weird, I know), I went for the full double-crust, and I'm so glad I did.
Dorie Greenspan made me a crust convert. Not just me, but the boyfriend, too. We're both die-hard crust haters and yet this one had us drooling. Go figure. Boyfriend (side note: one of these days I'll come up with a more clever nickname or go for the classier first initial) swears it's the sugar, but I have my doubts. I'm pretty sure Dorie Greenspan is just a magician.
And I felt like a magician too when I turned this:
Into this:
Using only these two handy dandy tools:
I didn't know if I could make the crust successfully without a food processor, but it wasn't even that hard with a basic pastry cutter, and I felt way more accomplished than if I had just pressed a few buttons. With that said, I still wouldn't have minded to have been able to use a food processor. Convenience is a beautiful thing.

Welcome to TWD! The blueberry filling spilling out of the ramekins looks gorgeous. I would have taken a ton of photos.
Crust-haters until now? Really?
I love the photos, really great. The double crust and blueberry look amazing. I also like the idea of individual ramekins.
Welcome to the group! I'm glad you had a great first week. I love the ramekin photos too. I'm glad Dorie converted you (she's changed my mind about lots of things, I love how this group gets us trying new things!)
Welcome-and no apologies for the loads of photos. Not when your photos are soo pretty. Great work. I'm jealous of those blue ramekins.
Great Job! Your little pie looks so yummy and rustic! Welcome to TWD!

Oh, my, never apologize for photos if they be such as these...very very nice. Great food, great photos, great post...thanks for sharing! Oh, and welcome!
GORGEOUS pictures!! Welcome to TWD!! You did an amazing job.
Picture heavy posts are the best!! I also love how the filling oozed down the ramekin. Totally agree about the crust comment - I'm not a huge crust eater either, but this one was nice and flaky
Welcome aboard! Don't ever apologize for photo heavy posts, you've done a marvelous job, both on the pie and the post!
Thanks for all of the comments and the warm welcome, everyone! I can't wait to see how you all did (after work).
This is my first TWD week, too. Your pie looks awesome! The crust recipe was so good, I had a hard time leaving it alone... even when it was raw! :)
