Ingredients

• 350 grams All-purpose flour
• 200 grams Unsalted butter
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 60 milliliters Cold water
• 300 grams Blueberries
• 3 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
• 100 grams Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar.

Step 2

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add cold water a little at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 5

In another large bowl, combine the blueberries, sliced apples, brown sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice. Mix until the fruit is evenly coated.

Step 6

On a floured surface, roll out one disc of dough into a circle large enough to fit your pie dish. Transfer it to the dish and press gently into the edges.

Step 7

Pour the blueberry and apple filling into the pie crust, making sure it is evenly distributed.

Step 8

Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Trim excess dough and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water. Brush this egg wash over the top crust for a golden finish.

Step 10

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 11

Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
