Description

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 the oven to 400°F (200°C) and place a baking sheet on the lowest rack to catch drips.
- Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming excess and crimping edges decoratively.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples and blueberries with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss gently to coat.
- Spoon the fruit mixture into the prepared crust, mounding slightly in the center, and dot with butter cubes.
- Roll out the second crust, place it on top, trim excess, crimp edges to seal, and cut slits for steam to escape. Alternatively, create a lattice crust by weaving strips of dough over the filling.
- Brush the top crust with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 400°F, then reduce to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for 30-40 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. Cover edges with foil if they brown too quickly.
- Once baked, let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing.
Notes
For the best flavor, use a combination of tart and sweet apples.
If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them beforehand to avoid a watery filling.
Ensure the pie cools completely to allow the filling to set properly.
