7 cups ½-inch sliced Pink Lady apples (approximately 5 medium)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ cup cold water
5 teaspoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
⅔ cup granulated sugar
2 (6-ounce) containers blackberries
Crème Anglaise (recipe follows)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, stir together flour, oats, brown sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt. Using fingers, cut in cold butter until mixture is crumbly; crumble with fingertips until pea-size clumps form.
Preheat oven to 375°.
Toss apple slices in lemon juice. Whisk ¼ cup cold water and cornstarch together.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add apples and cook, stirring frequently, 6 to 7 minutes, until softened (almost tender). Add cornstarch slurry, granulated sugar, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, and let boil for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
In a 9-inch deep dish pie plate, slowly add cooked apples in 4 additions, alternately with blackberries. Top with prepared crumble.
Bake until filling is bubbling and top is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve with Crème Anglaise.
