For many years I lived in Upstate NY, known for some of the best apples.
We would go into the woods and pick fresh blueberries, they were sweet and tiny but oh so good.
This pie is a great childhood memory.
Here is a combination of the two best memories.
These fruits really compliment each other in this pie and the crust is wonderful.
Apple Blueberry Deep Dish Pie Recipe
4 Apples peeled cored and sliced into wedges I like McIntosh or Cortland apples

Cinnamon and sugar mixed together (store bought in a shaker) or use 1/4 cup of sugar to 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
