Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons cold water
- 4 large apples
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cut the cold butter into cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until a dough forms. Divide the dough into two equal portions, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
While the dough chills, peel and core the apples, then slice them thinly. In a large bowl, mix the apples with the blueberries, lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside for the flavors to meld.
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 dough to the dish, pressing it gently into the edges.
Pour the apple and blueberry mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Roll out the second portion of dough and place it over the filling. Trim any excess dough, then pinch the edges of the top and bottom crusts together to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to make an egg wash. Brush the top crust with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Magical Pie!
