Blood oranges have a distinct and flavorful taste compared to regular oranges. They often have a hint of raspberry or berry-like flavor along with the citrusy notes, making them perfect for creating a pie with a unique and delicious taste.
Blood oranges also have a beautiful deep, rich red or crimson color that adds visual appeal to the pie.
INGREDEINTS
- 1 pre-baked pie crust (you can use store-bought or homemade)

DIRECTIONS
For Pie Crust: Bake according to directions on package if you are using a premade crust or use your favorite recipe. Once crust is a light golden brown, remove from oven and set aside. (You can substitute a graham crust if preferred).
