Gluten-Free Cape Cod Blueberry Cobble

A few years ago, I bought a Cape Cod blueberry pie at a pie auction at my child’s school. I’d never tasted Cape Cod blueberry pie, which is made with a cup of cooked berries mixed with uncooked berries.  The cooked berries coat the uncooked ones, making a juicy pie bursting with fresh blueberry flavor in every bite.

I don’t like rolling out gluten-free pie dough because it’s difficult to work with, so I make this pie with gluten-free cobble dough. It’s basically pie crust dough broken into small, flattened pieces that I place on top of the berries, making the top of the pie resemble a bumpy cobblestone street.

I bake the whole thing until it bubbles, but you can put the cobble dough in the bottom of the pie plate, bake that, and then toss the cooked and uncooked berries on top. Chill in the fridge, and serve with dairy-free whipped cream.
