🛒 Ingredients You'll Need

Here's a breakdown of the key ingredients in this apple blueberry pie recipe and some simple substitutions so you can make it with what you have on hand.
- Pie Crust - You can use homemade all-butter pie dough for maximum flakiness, or keep things simple with a good quality store-bought crust. Either way, chilling the dough before baking makes all the difference.
- Apples - I like using a mix of Granny Smith (tart and firm) and Honeycrisp (sweet and juicy) because together they balance the flavor and texture. Don't have Honeycrisp? Pink Lady, Braeburn, or Fuji work too.
- Blueberries - Fresh is fantastic, but frozen blueberries work just as well (no need to thaw). If using frozen, expect a slightly juicier filling.
- Sugar - A blend of granulated and brown sugar gives sweetness with a touch of caramel depth. If your fruit is extra sweet, feel free to cut back by a tablespoon or two.
- Cornstarch - This is the thickener that keeps the filling from turning soupy. If you're out, you can sub with ⅓ cup all-purpose flour, but the filling won't be quite as glossy.
- Lemon Juice + Zest - Adds brightness and keeps the flavors from tasting flat. Fresh lemon makes a big difference here.
- Cinnamon & Nutmeg - Warm baking spices that cozy up the fruit. You can swap in apple pie spice if that's what you have on hand.
- Butter - Those little cubes dotting the filling melt into the fruit and help create a richer sauce.
- Egg Wash - Brushing the crust with a beaten egg and water mixture gives it that golden, glossy finish. If you're out of eggs, use a splash of heavy cream or milk instead.
- Coarse Sugar - (Also called sanding sugar) Totally optional, but a sprinkle on top adds sparkle and crunch.
- Salt - A small but mighty ingredient! Just a pinch helps to balance the sweetness and enhance all the fruit flavors.

Tools You’ll Need
- 9″ Pie Plate
- Rolling Pin
- Lattice Pie Crust Cutter – If you want a lattice style similar to the pie crust in my photos, I recommend using a Lattice Pie Crust Cutter. However, you could also use a Pizza Cutter or sharp knife.
- Pastry Brush
- Pie Server
Step-by-Step: How to Make Blueberry Apple Pie
Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a baking sheet on the lowest oven rack to catch drips.

- Prepare Bottom Crust.
Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Let the edges hang over slightly, then trim so there's about an inch overhang. Fold the extra dough under itself and crimp with your fingers or a fork for a neat edge.

- Make the apple blueberry filling.
In a large bowl, mix the sliced apples, blueberries, sugars, cornstarch, lemon juice and zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss until everything is coated.

- Fill the pie.
Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared crust, mounding it slightly in the center. Dot the filling with the small cubes of butter.

- Add 2nd pie crust on top.
Roll out the second crust and place it over the filling. Trim excess crust, crimp to seal. Cut slits in the dough or see below to learn how to create a lattice design for steam to escape.

- Brush the Top Crust
Brush the top pie crust with an egg wash.

- Add Sanding Sugar.
Sprinkle with coarse sugar if you like.

- Bake the Pie: Bake for 20 minutes at 400°F, then reduce heat to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the crust edges brown too quickly, cover them loosely with foil.

- Cool: Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set before slicing.
🍎🫐 How to Use a Lattice Roller for a Mesh-Style Top Pie Crust
This is the exact method I use to get that delicate "fishnet hose" lattice.
- Unroll: Position over the pie and unroll gently. Adjust the pattern, trim excess, and press edges to seal.
- Roll: Roll the second crust into a large, even circle (about ⅛-inch thick).
- Cut: Glide the lattice roller firmly and evenly across the dough to create clean slits.
- Stretch: If the lattice openings look too small, you can gently widen them with the tip of a knife; just slide it into the slits and nudge them open. Be careful not to pull too hard, or the dough may tear.
- Transfer: Carefully unroll the patterned crust over the pie filling.
- Trim: Trim any excess and gently press the edges into the bottom crust to seal.
💡 Pro Tips
- Keep it cold. Cold dough = flaky layers. Chill your crust before baking.
- Use a lower oven rack. It helps keep the bottom crust crisp and golden.
- Taste test your fruit. If it's extra tart, add a little more sugar.
- Don't skip the egg wash. That golden, glossy finish makes your pie bakery-worthy.
- Cool completely. Waiting at least 2 hours helps the filling set up so it slices beautifully.

🔄 Variations
- Berry Swap: Try blackberries, raspberries, or a mix of summer berries.
- Spice It Up: Add a pinch of cardamom, allspice, or even ginger for a different flavor profile.
- Nutty Topping: Sprinkle chopped pecans, walnuts, or almonds over the lattice before baking.
- Mini Pies: Make individual apple blueberry hand pies for parties or picnics.
Serving Suggestions
This pie is dreamy on its own, but here are a few ways to make it extra special:
- Feeling adventurous? Try a slice with sharp cheddar cheese - a classic apple pie pairing that works even better with the blueberry twist.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for the ultimate comfort dessert.
- Add a dollop of fresh whipped cream or vanilla Greek yogurt if you prefer something lighter.
- Pair with coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon treat.
❄️ How To Store & Freeze
- Room Temperature: Cover loosely and store up to 2 days.
- Refrigerator: Keep covered in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Freezer: Wrap individual slices tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes for that just-baked flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Yes! Bake it a day ahead and store at room temperature, or assemble it unbaked and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
Use about 1/2 cup flour instead, though the filling may be cloudier.
Yes, but the tart + sweet combo gives the best balance of flavor and texture.
Bake on the lowest oven rack, use a metal pie pan, and brush the bottom pie crust with egg white before adding the filling.
The crust will be golden brown and the filling bubbling through the lattice for at least 5 minutes.

Apple Blueberry Pie Recipe
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 Pie crusts homemade or store-bought for a double-crust pie
- 2 medium Granny Smith apples peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 2 medium Honeycrisp apples peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 2 cups fresh blueberries or frozen, unthawed
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into small cubes
- 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
- Coarse sugar for sprinkling optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven. Set oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a baking sheet on the lowest rack to catch any drips.
- Prepare bottom crust. Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, leaving about 1 inch of dough hanging over the edge. Trim excess, fold edges under, and crimp decoratively.
- Make filling. In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, blueberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss gently until the fruit is evenly coated.
- Assemble pie. Spoon the fruit mixture into the prepared crust, mounding slightly in the center. Dot the filling with cubes of butter.
- Top with second crust. Roll out the second crust and place it over the filling. Trim excess dough, crimp edges to seal, and cut slits in the top for steam to escape. For a lattice crust, cut dough into strips using a lattice dough cutter for a fishnet crust (lattice with thin strips of dough) and weave over filling.
- Finish crust. Brush the top with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if using.
- Bake. Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for 30-40 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the edges brown too quickly, cover them loosely with foil.
- Cool. Remove pie from oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set before slicing.
