Recipe: 5 Ingredient/Minute Berry Pie

A few years ago, I was working with a middle school group and one of the students was asked the following question during an activity: "If honesty is the best policy, what is the second best?" Without hesitation, she said "pie."  True story.

Also a true story, this is the easiest pie I have ever made.

5 Ingredient/Minute Berry Pie

Servings: 8
Cook time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

• Pie crust, baked and set aside
• 2 cups fresh berries (I used blueberries.)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 Tbsp cornstarch
• 3/4 cup water*
• Whipped cream

Directions:

1. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and water over medium heat.  Stir until well combined.  
2. Bring the mixture to a simmer and continue to stir for 3 minutes until thickened.  
3. Add berries to the saucepan.  Simmer and stir for 2 minutes. 
4. Pour berry mixture into pie crust and refrigerate until cool.
5. Slice and serve with whipped cream.

* I didn't count water as one of the ingredients because it is water.
