Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pie crusts homemade or store-bought for a double-crust pie
- 2 medium Granny Smith apples peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 2 medium Honeycrisp apples peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 2 cups fresh blueberries or frozen, unthawed
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into small cubes
- 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
- Coarse sugar for sprinkling optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place a baking sheet on the lowest rack to catch any drips.
- Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, leaving about 1 inch of dough hanging over the edge. Trim excess dough, fold edges under, and crimp decoratively.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, blueberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss gently until the fruit is evenly coated.
- Spoon the fruit mixture into the prepared crust, mounding slightly in the center. Dot the filling with cubes of butter.
- Roll out the second crust and place it over the filling. Trim excess dough, crimp edges to seal, and cut slits in the top for steam to escape. For a lattice crust, cut dough into strips and weave over filling.
- Brush the top with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
- Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for 30-40 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the edges brown too quickly, cover them loosely with foil.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing.
Notes
Let the pie cool completely to help the filling set firmly for better slices.
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
Use fresh seasonal berries for the best flavor.
