Fourth of July is always a fun Holiday. Not just because it commemorates our Country’s independence, but because it is always such a fun time to spend with family. This Gluten Free Blueberry and Strawberry Pie is a must for your fourth of July holiday food spread. The strawberries and blueberries go so well together and of course the colors together with the pie crust create the perfect red, white, and blue dessert.
For the pie crust I use the Cup4Cup pie crust mix. I highly recommend using this pie crust mix. It makes it SO easy and you would really never know that it is gluten free! The instructions are all right there on the back of the bag, super convenient. My family, who is not gluten free, swears that you can not taste the difference as well! I use this brand for a lot of my baking and they never disappoint. I made this gluten free blueberry and strawberry pie last year for memorial day and it was a hit, you will not be disappointed! The idea of making a pie can sometimes be daunting for people. However, this recipe really is just SO easy and SO worth the time it takes to prep everything. This pie and my gluten free chocolate chip cookies would be the perfect set up for a festive time full of yummy desserts!
