["For the blueberry topping:
2
In a medium size sauce pan, heat the sugar, water and blueberries to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar and berries have thickened but are still a syrup consistency.", "The jam will thicken as it cools so don't over cook. If you don't have it reduced quiet enough, its fine. The syrup will just absorb down into the pie and still be flavorful. Set the pan aside to cool while you make the pie.", "For the Crust:
3
In a food processor, combine the dates, oil and sugar. Blend until the dates are roughly ground. Add in the walnuts, flour and salt.", "Pulse the mixer until everything comes together in a loose ball. Press the crust dough into the bottom and sides of an 8 inch pie plate. Bake crust at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool while you make the pie base.", "For the Base:
4
Warm the nut milk to 110 degrees and add in the yeast, date sugar, flax egg, vanilla and cinnamon.
5
Let sit for about 10 minutes to allow the yeast to grow.
6
Combine the remaining dry ingredients in a bowl.", "When your yeast has grown and is frothy, pour the liquid into the dry mix and stir to form a batter. The consistency should be similar to cake batter or waffle batter. Very airy and thick but easily stirred.
7
Pour the batter into the cooked crust and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.", "Cool the pie and then with a spoon, remove the top layer, about 1/2 inch worth, from the pie. ( This is your treat for having lived through the smell while your pie cooked....you can now eat the 'pit' of the pie!) leaving the outer edge of the pie intact.", "Pour your warm blueberry jam into the pit area and spread to the edges of the pit / center. Sprinkle the jam topping with your remaining fresh blueberries.", "That's it. You've made your first 'pit' pie.
8
Served warm is best or with a scoop of your favorite Vegan vanilla ice cream.
9
Store in the fridge or cover tightly and freeze for another day's enjoyment."]

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
