Ingredients

• 300 g All-purpose flour
• 200 g Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 4 tbsp Iced water
• 4 Apples (Granny Smith or Bramley, peeled, cored, sliced)
• 250 g Blackberries
• 100 g Caster sugar
• 50 g Brown sugar
• 2 tbsp Cornstarch
• 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 tbsp Milk (for brushing)
• 1 tbsp Granulated sugar (for sprinkling)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and rub it into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 2

Add iced water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch pie dish lightly with butter.

Step 4

In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with the caster sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Gently fold in the blackberries, being careful not to crush them.

Step 5

Divide the chilled dough into two pieces, one slightly larger than the other. Roll out the larger portion on a floured surface to fit the bottom and sides of the pie dish.

Step 6

Place the rolled-out dough into the prepared pie dish, gently pressing it into the edges. Trim the excess dough, leaving a slight overhang.

Step 7

Pour the apple and blackberry mixture into the dough-lined pie dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Roll out the second portion of dough into a circle large enough to cover the pie. Place it over the fruit filling. Trim the edges and crimp to seal the top and bottom crusts together.

Step 9

Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the top with milk and sprinkle with granulated sugar.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 11

Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
