Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2/3 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 5 tablespoons ice water
• 6 cups apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 2 cups blackberries
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and mix with a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Add the ice water a tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape them into disks. Wrap each disk with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, blackberries, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of the dough into a circle large enough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Carefully transfer the rolled dough to the pie dish and press it gently into the bottom and along the sides.
6. Pour the apple and blackberry mixture into the pie crust.
7. Roll out the second portion of dough into a circle and cover the pie filling. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape.
8. Brush the melted butter over the top crust for a golden finish.
9. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
10. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 2 hours before serving, as this will help the filling set.
11. Serve slices of the delicious apple blackberry pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
12. Enjoy!
