Expert Tips

Look for decorator sugar crystals in the gourmet section of supermarkets or in cake-decorating supply stores.

Store Pillsbury® refrigerated pie crusts in the main part of the refrigerator rather than in the door or the crisper. For longer storage, freeze it before the "use-by" date for up to two months.

Not a big fan of blueberry desserts, however, this was really good and I would make it again in a heartbeat. Everyone loved it. Quick and Easy.

I made this last weekend and was a bit confused on the directions because it calls for one box of pie crusts, however there are two crusts in the box! I ended up with two tarts and there seemed to be plenty of blueberry filling in both with the amounts the recipe calls for, however I had to double the amount of almonds so there was enough to go on top of both. Delicious!
