GRANDMA'S BLACKBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Beat the egg and vinegar together in a small bowl, and set aside. Whisk together the flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the cold butter with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (This can also be done in a food processor: pulse the cold butter or shortening until it's the size of small peas. Turn mixture into a bowl and proceed.) Stir in the egg and vinegar mixture. Add the ice water a tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork, until the flour mixture is moistened. Do not add more water than you need: when you squeeze a handful of the moistened pastry mixture, it should form a ball. Divide the dough in half and shape into balls. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to three days.
• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Roll one ball out to fit a 9 inch pie plate. Place bottom crust in pie plate and chill for at least 20 minutes before baking. Roll out top crust and set aside. Arrange the apple slices on the bottom of the pie crust, then scatter the blackberries on top. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup sugar. Place the second pie crust on top of the fruit mixture, and pinch the top and bottom crusts together. Lightly sprinkle the top crust with water, followed by the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar. Poke several holes in the top of the crust with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.

GRANDMA'S STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB PIE

Steps:

• Crust Preparation:
• Using 2 pastry blenders, blend the flours, sugar, shortening, butter and salt. Whisk the egg, vinegar and water in a 2-cup measure and pour over the dry ingredients incorporating all the liquid without overworking the dough. Toss the additional flour over the ball of dough and chill if possible. Divide the dough into 2 disks. Roll out 1 piece of dough to make a bottom crust. Place into a pie dish. Put dish in refrigerator to chill.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Filling Preparation:
• Mix the rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, tapioca, flour, zest and juice of lemon, dash of cinnamon, and vanilla. Mix well in a large bowl and pour out into chilled crust. Dot the top of the filling with the butter. Brush edges of pie crust with egg white wash. Roll out the other piece of dough and place over filling. Crimp to seal edges. Brush with egg white wash and garnish with large granule sugar. Collar with foil and bake at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes. Decrease temperature to 375 degrees F and bake for an additional 45 to 50 minutes, or until the filling starts bubbling. Higher altitude will take 450 degrees F and 400 degrees F respectively. Also, you can use a pie bird for extra decor. Let cool before serving.

OLD FASHIONED BLACKBERRY PIE RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• To Prepare the Pie Crust: Place the 1 cup of flour (140 grams) and the salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix to combine. With the mixer running on low speed, add the butter a small handful at a time. When all the butter has been added, increase the speed to medium-low and mix for about 1 minute, until the butter is thoroughly blended. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Turn the speed to medium-low, and add the remaining 1 cup + 3 tablespoons of flour (165 grams), and mix just to combine. Add the water and mix until incorporated. The dough will come up around the paddle and should feel smooth, not sticky, to the touch. Remove the dough from the mixer and check to be certain that there are no visible pieces of butter remaining. Pat the dough into two equal sized disks and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but preferably overnight. (It can also be frozen for up to 1 month.) Rolling out the dough: Unwrap the dough and place it between two pieces of parchment or plastic wrap. (I very lightly flour the one side of the parchment paper to prevent sticking.) With a rolling pin, pound the top of the dough, working from one side of the dough to the other, to begin to flatten the dough; turn the dough 90 degrees and repeat. Roll out the dough, in the parchment, from the center outward, rotating and flipping the dough over frequently, to the dimensions needed for the desired pan. Remove the top piece of parchment and invert the dough into the pan, pressing it gently against the sides and into the bottom edges. Remove the remaining parchment. Freeze the dough for 30 minutes or refrigerate for an hour. To Assemble the Pie: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Add the softened butter and combine using a fork. Add the sugar/butter mixture to the 4 cups of blackberries and toss gently until combined. Spoon the mixture into the unbaked pie crust. Place top crust onto filled pie. Fold edges over and crimp and flute edges. Cut slits in top crust or prick with fork to allow steam to escape. Bake for 1 hour (I have to bake it for 1 hour 10 minutes) or until filling in center is bubbly and crust is golden brown. Cool to room temperature for serving. *Red raspberries may be substituted for blackberries. **Put a sheet of foil on bottom of the oven to catch spillage from the pie.
