Apple pies are so "american". And I have been trying different recipes for years, trying to find one I liked. My problem? I find baked apples to be rather boring. No matter how tart the apples start out, once you bake them in a pie, they lose the pucker factor. So sad. But after a trip to our farmer's market where I was seduced by plumb tart locally grown blueberries, my husband suggested I combine the granny smith apples I had in the fridge with the berries to make a small pie. Sure, sounds doable. I even found a recipe that gave me a jumping off point.
Basically all you have to do is add a handful of blueberies to your fav apple pie recipe and viola- an apple pie that taste tart enough to please anyone! No too sweet and boring beige filling here. Pilled high berries and apples look pretty with a flaky lattice crust. So next time you make your apple pie, throw in a handful of blueberries and taste the difference! Diana
