BLACKBERRY APPLE PIE

Blackberry Apple Pie image

My mother made this pie so often, she could do it with her eyes closed! We picked the berries ourselves, and the apples came from the trees in our orchard. I can still taste the delicious combination of fruits encased in Mother's flaky pie crust. -Fran Stanfield, Wilmington , Ohio
