Then add 3-4 tbsp cold water and mix firm dough.
Knead the dough briefly and gently. Wrap the dough in cling film and chill while preparing the filling. For the filling, put the apples in a saucepan, add sugar, cinnamon, and 2 tbsp of the water and cook over a medium-low head for 12-15 minutes with a lid on, stirring occasionally.
Then add the blackberries, stir gently, and cook for another 3-4 minutes with the lid off. Set aside to cool. Meanwhile, remove the pastry from the fridge.
Dust the worksurface with flour, cut the pastry in half, and, using a floured rolling pin, roll one of the pieces out until it's just under 1cm thick. (Rolling the dough between two layers of greaseproof paper will also stop it sticking to your rolling pin). Butter a shallow 20cm pie dish and line with the pastry, trimming off any excess around the edges using a sharp knife.
Spoon the cooled apples and blackberries into the lined pie dish so that you have a mound in the middle. Spoon over the juice in the pan. Roll out the second piece of pastry and lay it over the top of the pie.
Trim the edges as before and crimp them together with your fingers. Cut a cross in the middle of the top and decorate the pie with the remaining pastry if you like. Brush the top of the pie with the plant-based milk.
Place the pie on a baking tray and bake for 50-60 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Read more: 4-Ingredient Vegan ‘Snickers’ BarsThis article was written by Editorial Team on the PBN Website..
