Blueberry Pie Filling

I`m back!!

I went to Lake Winnapasake for 2 weeks and had a fabulous time, but I missed you guys

terribly!

I'm sure you guys missed me too, right?

Yay, I'm loved :)

Anyways, I know blueberry pie filling is pretty basic, but since nice fresh blueberries are

in season right now, i figured I`d share a delicious recipe with you.

This filling has this delicious Cinnamon-nutmeg tang to it, and I know you guys are just gonna

love it!

I prepared this with a premade pie crust for the sake of ease and time, but you are welcome

make your own if you'd like
