Ingredients

• ½ cup white sugar
• ¼ cup butter
• ¼ cup water
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 recipe pastry for a 9-inch double-crust pie
• 1 (6 ounce) container blackberries, halved - divided
• 4 large Granny Smith apple - peeled, cored, and sliced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; stir in flour to make a smooth paste. Whisk water, white sugar, brown sugar, and lemon juice into butter mixture. Bring to a simmer and whisk constantly until mixture is thick, about 3 minutes. Stir 6 blackberry halves into sauce, reduce heat to low, and continue cooking while you complete remaining steps. Stir sauce occasionally.

Step 3

Line a 9-inch pie dish with a crust. Place apples and remaining blackberries into crust. Cut remaining crust into strips about 1 inch wide. Weave pie crust strips into a lattice crust on top of the pie; pinch ends of strips to edge of bottom crust to seal. Spoon hot blackberry sauce over pie, letting it soak through the openings in the top crust. Place pie onto a baking sheet to catch drips.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until crust is golden brown and sauce is bubbling, 35 to 45 more minutes.
