Lisa's Blackberry Apple Pie

Lisa showed us how to make this fabulous pie last weekend in Mammoth. It was so so so good and is a supper yummy mix of berry pie and apple pie together. Lisa was awesome enough to share her recipe. I hope you'll enjoy it! I'm definitely making this again for me, uh... I mean... uh Nathan this week. :)


Also, in addition to making awesome pie, Lisa also makes awesome Android wallpapers, if that's more your speed check them out here. I recommend the rainbow one because it has a unicorn!!1!1!eleven!! 

Ok, back to pie now... :)
______________________________________

Start by mixing the flour, cinnamon and sugar in a medium sized mixing bowl.

next peel and dice the apples and mix with blackberries, lemon juice and vanilla

combine the flour mixture with the apple mixture and transfer to a crust lined pie pan.

dot with butter

Cover with top crust and sprinkle the top with Sugar, mmmmmmm....

Cut some slits and pop it in the oven for for 45 min at 425. To be safe we baked it on a baking sheet so that if the pie leaked it wouldn't get the oven all messy.

wait

wait

wait

It's done!

let it cool (well... at least a little)

Serve up with vanilla ice cream and feel very happy. :)
