Ingredients
- 2 cups apples, sliced
- 1 cup blackberries
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will ensure that your pie bakes evenly and thoroughly.
- Prepare the pie crust. If you're using a store-bought crust, remove it from the packaging and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. If you're making your own crust, roll it out on a floured surface to fit your pie dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples and blackberries. Make sure the apples are peeled and sliced thinly for even cooking.
- Add 1 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the fruit mixture. Gently toss the ingredients together until the fruit is well coated.
- Let the fruit mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to release and the flavors to meld.
- Transfer the fruit mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly to ensure even baking.
- If you have a second pie crust, you can either lay it over the top and cut slits for steam to escape or create a lattice pattern. If you're using a lattice, cut the crust into strips and weave them over the filling.
- Crimp the edges of the pie crust to seal it, ensuring that the filling is well contained. You can also brush the top crust with a little water or beaten egg to achieve a golden color when baked.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, then bake it in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This cooling time allows the filling to set properly.
- Serve your apple pie aux mures warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips
- Choose the Right Apples: Opt for firm, tart varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp that hold their shape during baking.
- Prevent Soggy Crust: Sprinkle a thin layer of breadcrumbs or ground almonds on the bottom crust before adding fruit to absorb excess moisture.
- Create a Beautiful Finish: For a professional-looking pie, use an egg wash (beaten egg with a splash of water) to give your crust a gorgeous golden sheen.
- Temperature Matters: Let your pie cool for at least 30 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set properly, preventing a runny mess when slicing.
- Storage Hack: Cover your pie loosely with aluminum foil and store at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- Serving Suggestion: A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream can take this pie from delicious to absolutely irresistible!
