Ingredients

  • 175g plain flour

  • pinch salt

  • 100g butter

  • 25g caster sugar

  • 1 tsp grated lemon zest

  • 1 egg yolk

  • milk, to moisten and glaze

  • 300g cooking apples, peeled, cored and sliced (use Bramley's if possible)

  • 225g freshly blackberries

  • caster sugar, to taste

Method

  1. Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces and rub in until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

  2. Mix in the sugar, lemon zest, egg yolk and a splash of milk to form a dough. Knead the dough lightly.

  3. Spoon the apples and blackberries into a shallow 1.2ltr/900ml dish, then sprinkle over sugar to taste.

  4. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface, large enough to cover the pie. Place the pastry over the filled pie dish, then seal and flute the edges. Glaze the top of the pie with a little milk, then bake for 40-45 mins until golden.
