Apple Blackberry Pie
Course Dessert
Cuisine American
- 7-8 Tart apples
- 2-3 cups Blackberries
- 1/2 cup Brown sugar (dark is good)
- 5 tsp Cornstarch
- 2 Tbsp Ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
Have your pie crust ready. Mix together everything EXCEPT the fruit.
Preheat your oven to 375F
Peel, core, and slice the apples. Keep them in lemony water to keep them from browning as you prepare the remaining apples.
Place sliced apples and blackberries in a large bowl with room to mix them around. Pour dry ingredients and mix well with the fruit.
Pour everything into your prepared pie crust. Top with the rest of the crust, crimping the edge to avoid leaks. Score the top to allow the steam to escape. Use a pie shield or put strips of foil around the edge to keep it from browning too quickly.
Place a sheet of foil under the pie (to catch spills) and bake for 50 minutes at 375F Remove the pie shield (or the foil strips) and bake for another 15-20 minutes.Cool for at least 2-3 hours.

Basic Easy Pie Dough
Makes enough for a single crust pie. For a pie needing a top crust, double the recipe.
Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Course Dessert
Cuisine American
- 1.25 cups All-purpose unbleached flour
- 2 tsp White sugar
- 1/4 tsp Fine sea salt
- 8 Tbsp Butter, unsalted, cut into small cubes, very cold
- 3 Tbsp Water, VERY cold
Gather your ingredients. I usually cut the butter and place it in the freezer along with a small glass of water while I gather everything else.
Place flour and the very cold butter in the bowl for your stand mixer (or food processor) and beat until the mixture look like course corn meal. Make sure the butter pieces are pea-sized or smaller.
While the mixer is running, add the water one tablespoon at a time mixing just until the dough comes together. Use a tiny bit more water if needed taking care not to add to much or your dough will be too sticky.
Sprinkle flour on your work surface. Make a thick disk of the dough and place in on the floured surface. Roll it into a round (ish) shape turning the dough 1/4 turn between rollings, sprinkling more flour top and bottom as needed.
