Follow the recipe below:   ![thanksgiving pie -16.jpg](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/hs-fs/hubfs/thanksgiving%20pie%20-16.jpg?width=720&name=thanksgiving%20pie%20-16.jpg "thanksgiving pie -16.jpg") **Ingredients:** 1 package of your favorite pie dough 2-3 cups fresh California Giant blackberries 4 cups sliced peeled apples (any variety will work) 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 4 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch **Instructions:** Heat oven to 375 degrees. Follow instructions on the pie dough package. With the top pie crust, use your leaf pie crust cut-out until all of the dough is used. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine blackberries and apples. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir this into the fruit and toss to coat. Spoon into crust-lined pie plate and top with the leaf cut-outs. Cover the pie with foil to prevent excessive browning and place in the oven. Bake for 50 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for at least an hour before serving.
