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 oven to 400°F (200°C) and place a baking sheet on the lowest rack.
- Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, leaving an inch overhang. Trim excess, fold edges under, and crimp decoratively.
- In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, blueberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss gently to coat the fruit evenly.
- Spoon the fruit mixture into the crust, mounding it slightly in the center and dotting with butter.
- Roll out the second pie crust and cover the filling, trimming excess and crimping edges to seal. Cut slits in the top for steam to escape, or create a lattice design with strips of dough.
- Brush the top with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
- Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes, then reduce temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for another 30-40 minutes until the crust is golden and filling is bubbling. Cover edges with foil if they brown too quickly.
- Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for a minimum of 2 hours before slicing.
Notes
For best flavor, use a mix of tart and sweet apples.
Ensure the pie cools completely to allow the filling to set properly before serving.
Lattice crusts can be made by weaving strips of dough over the filling for a beautiful finish.
