Old Fashioned Fresh Blackberry Pie

Take advantage of the ripe blackberries that are in season this summer and bake this wonderfully delightful fresh blackberry pie.  This recipe is simple and clever.  The apple slices in this recipe help to soak up the excess juices from the blackberries to prevent a soupy pie.  Recipe courtesy of Allrecipes.com. 

Ingredients
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie or refrigerated pie dough
6 cups fresh blackberries
1 apple, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon white sugar

Directions
Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F.
Roll one pie crust 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 by creating a traditional lattice weave.  Fork the top and bottom crusts together. Lightly sprinkle the top crust with water, followed by the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.
