My son found some blackberries growing by our bayou. He went out this morning and picked a bunch and brought them home for me to make a pie. He didn't pick enough to make a pie entirely out of blackberries--and now I'm glad he didn't. I found this recipe on Allrecipes that is half apples, half blackberries and it is delicious!Ingredients:
1 pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 tsp tapioca
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 cups fresh blackberries
2 cups apples--peeled, cored, and sliced
2 Tbsp butter, cut into small pieces
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375. In 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. 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. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and continue baking for 20-25 mintues, or until crust is golden brown. Cool on wire rack.
