Apple and Blackberry pie (Sweet Pastry)

I have a blackberry hedge growing along my fence line and during the season pick them regularly, using some fresh but freezing a lot of them, Frozen blackberry’s need to be cooked from frozen, if you defrost them first they just go mushy and very wet. I also have apple trees but they are rather small and I’ve long used up the fruit I got from them so had to buy but I’m buying more trees, different fruits next year as I continue to build my orchard.

I moved from the UK to France in 2005, gave up my business and with my husband, Paul, and two sons converted a small cottage in rural Brittany to our home Half Acre Farm. It was here after years of ready meals and take aways in the UK I realised that I could cook. Paul also learned he could grow vegetables and plant fruit trees; we also keep our own poultry for meat and eggs. Shortly after finishing the work on our house we was featured in a magazine called Breton and since then Ive been featured in a few magazines for my food. My two sons now have their own families but live near by and Im now the proud grandmother of two little boys. Both of my daughter in laws are both great cooks. My cooking is home cooking, but often with a French twist, my videos are not there to impress but inspire, So many people say that they cant cook, but we all can, you just got to give it a go.For the sweet pastry.

Put the flour and almonds in the bowl and combine.

Roll the pastry in flour, put in a bag and place in the fridge for 3 hours.

Cut the apples into wedges (peeling is an option, I don’t) and put them in a frying pan along with the blackberry’s, sprinkle with sugar and cook till the apples are soft but not mushy. Strain (but save the syrup) and leave to cool, the reason I strain the fruit after cooking is so that I can cook the sauce a little longer if I need to make a thicker syrup and also control how much syrup goes in the pie.

Optional, brush the pie with egg wash, this will give a darker crisper pastry, I didn’t.

Optional, Sprinkle with sugar, I did.

If you want this can be frozen at this stage for another day.
