Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 cups fresh blackberries
• 2 cups apples - peeled, cored and sliced
• 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
• 4 teaspoons tapioca
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out one crust, and place in a 9 inch pie plate. Roll out top crust, and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, tapioca, and cinnamon. Add blackberries and apple slices. Toss gently to coat without mashing the berries. Let stand for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Spoon filling into pastry lined pan. Dot with butter. Moisten the edge of the pastry with water. Cover with top crust; trim and crimp edge. Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape during baking. Cover edge with foil to prevent over-browning.

Step 4

Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and continue baking for 20 to 25 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Cool on wire rack.
