Ingredients

  • 1 refrigerated pie crust dough
  • 1 c. sugar
  • 1/2 t. salt
  • 1 T. cornmeal
  • 1 T. cornstarch
  • 4 Blood oranges
  • 4 T. butter melted
  • 5 eggs

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Place the pie crust in a 9 inch pie pan. Flute the edges if desired and place in the refrigerator to chill.
  • In a large bowl combine the sugar, salt, cornmeal, and cornstarch. Mix and set aside.
  • Zest one of the blood oranges and place the zest in a small bowl. Juice the oranges, measuring out 2/3 of a cup of juice.
  • Add the orange zest and juice to the flour mixture and mix well. Add in the melted butter and eggs and whisk until combined.
  • Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator and pour the orange filling into it. Place in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown. About halfway through baking add a pie crust shield to protect the crust from burning.
  • Remove the pie from the oven and cool completely. Serve at room temperature.
