Notes
Gum always made this for us when we'd come visiting. She used a ceramic blackbird poking through the center of the crust to keep it from collapsing in on itself overly much and to work as a vent. The little bastards are hard to find, but well worth the effort -- the pie wouldn't look the same without the little head peeping out.
This being said, my crust generally falls in but its still tasty.
Ingredients
|
2 1/2 cups
|
flour
|
|
1/2 tsp
|
salt
|
|
2/3 cup
|
ice water
|
|
2-4
|
apples
|
|
1 bag
|
boysenberries
|
|
1 1/4 cup
|
sugar
|
Preparation
Pare, slice and cook apples in near-boiling water until soft but not mashed--about 10 mins.
Mix flour and salt and cut in ice water slowly to form crust. Roll out to form a 10-12" inch disk, large enough to cover a 9" casserole and chill.
Drain apples and mix with boysenberries and sugar until evenly mixed. Cover with with the dough disc and bake 35 to 45 minutes: 10 minutes at 450F for 10 minutes then step down to 350F.
