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 drips.
- Roll out one pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming excess dough and decoratively crimping the edges.
- In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, blueberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, tossing gently to coat the fruit evenly.
- Spoon the fruit mixture into the prepared crust, mounding it slightly in the center and dotting with cubes of butter.
- Roll out the second crust, place it over the filling, trim the excess, crimp the edges to seal, and cut slits on top for steam to escape; for a lattice, cut into strips and weave over the filling.
- Brush the top with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 400°F, then reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 30-40 minutes until golden brown and bubbling; cover edges with foil if browning too fast.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let cool for at least 2 hours on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
For a crispier crust, let the pie cool completely before slicing.
Ensure to toss the filling thoroughly to combine all ingredients for the best flavor.
Consider using a lattice top for an appealing presentation.
