Grandma's Apple-Blackberry Pie
Ingredients
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 7 tablespoons ice water, plus more as needed
  • 6 cups fresh blackberries
  • 1 apple, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
Instructions
1
Combine the egg and vinegar in a small bowl, whisking them together until smooth. Set this mixture aside for later use.
2
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they form a cohesive mixture. Use a knife or pastry blender to incorporate the cold butter into this mixture, resulting in a texture that resembles coarse crumbs.
3
Alternatively, you can use a food processor to achieve the same result: pulse the cold butter or shortening until it reaches a size similar to small peas. Transfer this mixture into a new bowl and proceed with the next steps.
4
Add the egg and vinegar mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until they are fully incorporated. Gradually add ice water a tablespoon at a time, mixing the dough with a fork until it reaches the desired consistency. Be mindful not to add too much water, as this can cause the dough to become overly moist.
5
Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a ball. Wrap these balls in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to three days.
6
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
7
Roll out one of the chilled dough balls to fit a 9 inch pie plate. Carefully place this bottom crust in the prepared pie plate and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before baking. Roll out the second dough ball and set it aside for now.
8
Arrange a layer of apple slices on the bottom of the pie crust, followed by a scattering of blackberries. Sprinkle this fruit mixture with 1/2 cup of sugar.
9
Place the second dough ball on top of the fruit mixture, pinching the edges of both crusts together to form a seal. Lightly sprinkle the top crust with water, followed by the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar. Use a fork to create several holes in the top crust, allowing steam to escape during baking.
10
Bake this pie in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until it reaches a golden brown color.
