Ingredients

• 1 cup blueberries

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1/4 cup milk

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a bowl, combine the blueberries, apricots, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined and set aside.

6. Sprinkle sliced almonds on top of the dough.
