When you are feeling like you could cry, it is raining and billowing outside, the golden fire is crackling next to you and all you desire is something to eat... what comes to mind?
I certainly hope it is pie.
My apple and blueberry pie puts all other sweet pies to shame. Well, I think so at least.
I don't really have a recipe for this one - it came right out of my mind; but I shall endeavour to add measurements and the like.
The glorious, glossy red deliciousness takes my breath away.
The amounts of fruit within this recipe all depends on what ratio you want. I can't really remember how much apple I put in compared to how many blueberries. All I can say is - go with what feels right...

Ingredients:
- Approximately 5 apples, any kind of apple will do
- 3 cup frozen blueberries (if you can manage fresh - go you!)
- 1/2 cup white sugar (please taste as you go - a little sugar at a time!)
- 2 tsp of spice (you can choose - I like cinnamon or nutmeg)
- 1 1/2 cup water (add more or less depending on how wet your mixture is - this water is to allow the juices of the apples to draw out)
- If you are in a rush, or just impatient, add 1tbsp of cornflour to half a cup of water and stir that through the fruit, this will thicken the mixture - or just wait until the water has boiled down to a consistency that you like
- Rolled Oats
- Brown Sugar
- White Sugar
- 50g butter
Method:- Cut the apples into bite sized squares
- Put the water, apple pieces, blueberries, 1/2 cup white sugar into a pot and put over a medium heat
- Allow the fruit to boil away gently until the apple is soft but still holds its shape
- Either allow to boil the water away, or add the corn flour syrup
- Pour the fruit into a oven-safe dish
- In a bowl combine the butter, white sugar, brown sugar and the oats (don't make too sweet)
- Once combined, carefully spoon over the fruit and pat down slightly
- Cook in a hot oven, approximately 180C, until the top is golden or the fruit is starting to bubble through and over the dish
EAT with cold cream or ice-cream. Arg. Yum.
