Ingredients
Scale
Pie Dough
- 1 package of your favorite pie dough
Fruit Filling
- 2–3 cups fresh California Giant blackberries
- 4 cups sliced peeled apples (preferably honeycrisp)
Filling Mix
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 4½ teaspoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Prepare Oven and Pie Dough: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Follow the instructions on the pie dough package to prepare the crust. For the top crust, use a leaf-shaped pie crust cutter to cut out decorative shapes from the dough and set them aside.
- Mix Fruit Filling: In a large bowl, combine the fresh blackberries and peeled, sliced apples. In a separate smaller bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch.
- Combine and Fill: Stir the sugar and spice mixture into the fruit, tossing gently until the fruit is evenly coated. Spoon the fruit mixture into the crust-lined pie plate, distributing it evenly.
- Top the Pie: Arrange the leaf cut-out dough pieces over the filled pie, creating an appealing pattern and covering the filling.
- Bake with Foil Covering: Cover the pie with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning on the crust. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes.
- Finish Baking Uncovered: After 50 minutes, carefully remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least one hour before serving. This cooling helps the filling set, ensuring a clean slice.
Notes
- Use honeycrisp apples for a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, but other apple varieties like Granny Smith or Fuji can also be used.
- Ensure the fruit is evenly coated with the cornstarch mixture to prevent the pie from becoming too runny.
- Covering the pie with foil during the initial baking prevents the crust from over-browning while the filling cooks through.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before cutting to allow the filling to thicken.
- For an extra glossy finish, brush the top crust with an egg wash before baking.
