Ok, so who doesn’t like apple pie, right? Well my sweet friends, I have a serious upgrade for you on the basic, standard apple pie recipe! If you like apple pie then you are going to LOVE my apple huckleberry pie recipe!
I am lucky enough to live in an area where both huckleberries and blackberries grow wild EVERYWHERE! I have an annual ritual in the fall to go out and pick as many as I can fit in my freezer to stock up for the year.
Blackberries are also the perfect addition to apple pies if you don’t have access to huckleberries.
My kids absolutely LOVE it when I throw a handful of berries into their pancakes or waffles or make huckleberry muffins for an afternoon treat. Psstt! If you want to try an awesome muffin recipe check out my “The Best Muffins You Will Ever Make!” recipe. I have a few secret ingredients that may surprise you.
But the ultimate is a big beautiful apple huckleberry pie! It’s apple pie with a perfect kick of sweet/tart berries.
For the perfect crust try my >>> Perfect Pie Crust Recipe <<<. This pie crust recipe is the perfect balance between the richness and flavor of a butter crust and the beautiful flakiness of a shortening crust, ideal for intricate decorative pies.

Ingredients

- Prepare my Perfect Pie Crust recipe (link in notes). Have bottom crust prepped and in pie pan, store in the fridge until ready to fill.
- combine sliced apples and lemon juice in a large bowl
- in small bowl combine sugar, flour,corn starch, salt and spices
- sprinkle over apples and mix well to coat the apples
- add berries and gently stir to distribute evenly.
- spoon into prepared pie crust. add top crust following pie crust recipe instructions.
- Place the pie on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in oven preheated to 450 for 10 minutes, reduce heat to 350 and bake 40 more minutes. When done, apples should feel soft with a cake tester.
I have this pie in the oven right now. It looks awesome. The only changes I made was I used 4 cups of apples and one cup of huckleberries, this filled my deep dish store bought pie crust. Eight cups of apples would have easily made two pies. Thanks for the recipe.
