An apple blackberry pie recipe with cinnamon and nutmeg. Scroll down to see more blackberry desserts and apple pie recipes.
Ingredients:

* 2 1/2 pounds apples, peeled, cored, sliced
* 2 cups blackberries, fresh or frozen
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
* 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 2 tablespoons flour
* 1 tablespoon butter, cut in small pieces
* pie shell for two-crust 9-inch pie

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375°.

Mix the apples and blackberries together in a large bowl.

In another bowl, combine the sugar, spices, and flour; gently mix into the fruit mixture. Line a 9-inch pie plate with bottom crust. Spoon the fruit filling into the prepared crust, then dot with butter. Top with the remaining pie crust, leaving a slight overhang. Crimp the edges of the top and bottom crusts together, sealing the fruit into the shell. Whisk the egg yolk and milk together, and brush this wash over the top crust. With a sharp knive, make several slits in the top crisp to allow steam to escape.

Bake at 375° for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until the apples are tender. If crust seems to be browning too quickly, reduce the heat to 325 degrees.

LOL @ the squirrel part

I grew up in rural areas, and various places where there were mublery trees. And I used to eat all of the kinds there were, all the various colors (black, red, white, pinkish etc') but now I live in the city, and there aren't any to be found. nor there are places to buy the berries from (that I know of)

That white mulberry tree actually was in Queens, Sabi.

You'd be surprised what you find in the backyards of Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. For mulberries, in particular, check some of the Italian neighborhoods---which are also good for figs, btw.

Where in the city are you? There have been a rash of green markets sprung up since I lived there, and you might find your berries in some of them. Or in the upscale shops in places like Chelsea Market.

Out in the boroughs there are still numerous ethnic neighborhoods, with their own specialty markets. Pretty much anything you might want, in the way of foodstuffs, is available if you search out those places. Brooklyn, especially, is the place to search, because it remains, at base, a collection of ethnic and cultural neighborhoods

Also, see if you can find a source for back-issues of New York magazine. Their "Best ____ in New York" articles often provide you with clues. Years back, for instance, they did one on the best bread in New York, and included these oversized pita baked with olive oil and herbs. When we checked out the bakery it turns out there was a whole Syrian neighborhood there that we were unaware of. Some of Gael Greene's restaurant reviews provide clues, too. "Why," ask yourself, "is there a Hungarian restaurant at that location?"

One thing you can say about New York: Whatever you're looking for can be found there, somewhere, if you look hard enough.

One other possibility. Have you asked your greengrocer (Lord, I love being able to say that. Closest thing we have to a greencrocer is the produce manager at Kroger---and he's lucky to be able to order apples. But I digress)? Even if they don't normally stock something, chances are they can order it from their suppliers, or find it at the terminal market.

I betcha some of those Italian markets on 9th Ave. can get you mulberries.

I just moved to the Bronx, a month ago, feels like it was yesterday.
I bet you're right, and I wish I had the time to go berry hunting.
Unfortunately I work 10-15 hrs a day.
But that's internet working, so it could be much worse
Leaves me just enough time to get back home, make something fun to eat, and fall asleep :o
