Author Notes: I love wild blackberry pies! When blackberries are slim pickings, I make an apple pie and add at least 3/4 cups of berries. The blackberry flavor compliments the apples wonderfully. - good_spring

Serves 8

3 medium apples sliced
3/4 cups blackberries
3 tablespoons flour
3/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon butter, cut up
1 double pie crust, uncooked

I use a Pillsbury's Pet-Ritz All Vegetable deep dish frozen pie crust or make a double crust with Crisco's vegetable shortening.
Fill one crust with apple slices. Spread the blackberries evenly over the apples,
Sprinkle the flour over the apple/berry mixture.
Pour the sugar over the apple/berry mixture. Save 1 tsp of sugar to sprinkle on top of the crust.
Place cut up butter randomly over the mixture. Save 1/2 of the butter to place on top of the crust .
Place the top crust on. Poke holes with a fork to vent.
Sprinkle a bit of sugar on the crust and dot with more bits of butter top of the crust.
Bake in a preheated 375 degrees for 40 - 45 minutes. Enjoy!
