How to make flaky, buttery pie crust dough?

Using a knife, cut the butter stick into small cubes and freeze it for a couple of hours.
1 cup Butter, Ice Cold
In a food processor, add flour, then frozen butter cubes, salt, and about 4 tablespoon of ice-cold water. Pulse this for about 1-2 minutes.
2 ½ cups All purpose Flour, ¾ teaspoon Salt, ½ cup Ice Cold Water
Scrape the bottom and edges of the food processor, add another 4 tablespoon of ice-cold water, and pulse for another 2 minutes. At this stage, the flour-butter mixture should appear crumbly. (You can even make this using a fork if you do not have a food processor).
Transfer this crumbly dough to a clean work surface, and form a dough ball by simply squeezing the crumbly mixture together.
If you find that the dough is drier, add 1-2 tablespoon of ice-cold water, gently incorporate it into the dough using your fingers, and try forming the dough ball again.
Transfer the dough ball to a zip lock bag and rest it in the refrigerator for at least an hour or overnight.

How to make the homemade blackberry apple filling

In a non-stick pan on medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter and sliced apples and saute for 5 minutes.
4 Apples, thinly sliced
Then add 3 teaspoon of sugar and continue sauteing it for another 3 to 5 minutes. Switch off the flame. Transfer this to a bowl and keep this aside.
Add the remaining ¼ cup butter to the same non-stick pan. Once the butter melts, add all-purpose flour. Reduce the heat to medium-low and saute the flour for about 90 seconds so that a paste is formed.
¼ cup + 1 tablespoon Butter, 3 tablespoon All-purpose flour
Add sugar, brown sugar, water, and lemon juice to this and simmer it for 3 minutes.
3 teaspoon + ½ cup Sugar, ½ cup Brown sugar, ¼ cup Water, 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Add cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt, and continue cooking for 1 minute.
1 teaspoon Cinnamon powder, ⅛ teaspoon Ground nutmeg (optional), 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract, Salt, a pinch
Transfer ⅔ of the sauce to the sauteed apple bowl, add blackberries, and mix well.
6 oz Blackberries
Keep the remaining ⅓ sauce on the lowest flame while you assemble the pie.

How to bake blackberry apple pie?

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the baking pie pan with butter.
Remove the pie dough from the refrigerator. Divide it into two equal parts. On a floured working surface, roll them into two circles that are big enough to completely cover your pie plate (for a 9-inch pan, I roll them to approx 11-inch diameter circle).
Place one circle of rolled dough on the bottom of your pie pan and press firmly against the bottom and sides.
Then pour the apple blackberry filling on top of this.
Now complete the assembly by covering it with the second circle of rolled pie dough. Crimp the edges. Spread the remaining ⅓rd portion of the hot sauce on top of the dough using a pastry brush. Make 3 to 4 gashes or slits using a sharp knife to let the steam out while baking.
Bake in the oven for 45 to 50 minutes. Let it cool down even before you slice.
Serve with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream, and enjoy.

Notes

Try our summer fruit pie or Nutella crescent rolls ups using leftover pie dough.
Cut the butter into pieces first, chill rather than chilling the whole block, and then slice for the best results.
If pie dough is refrigerated overnight, you must wait a couple of minutes before rolling.
Tightly wrap leftover pie using plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
