Coffee and Dessert - Apple, Strawberry and Blueberry Pie

My original intention was to make a strawberry rhubarb pie. I thought some of my rhubarb was just about ready, but unfortunately it is still too early. I had a few apples in my refrigerator, and I purchased some fresh strawberries and blueberries in the market recently, so I decided to throw all of them into a pie. The result was wonderful. It is absolutely delicious served with whipped cream and was a big hit in my house. 

Apple, Strawberry and Blueberry Pie

pie crust for 2-crust pie (homemade or pre-made)
3 apples, cored, peeled and sliced
1 pound of fresh strawberries, sliced
1-pint fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1.2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter

  1. Preheat oven to 425℉.
  2. Prepare pie crust (make your own or use the pre-made). Line bottom of pie plate with crust.
  3. Core, peel and slice apples and toss with the lemon juice. Add sliced strawberries.
  4. Mix sugar, flour, nutmeg and cinnamon. Stir in with the apples and strawberries. Add blueberries and gently mix in (so as not to crush the blueberries).
  5. Turn into prepared pastry-lined plate, dot with butter. Cover with top crust, seal and flute. Cut slits in top. Cover edge with foil to prevent burning and remove during last fifteen minutes of baking.
  6. Bake until crust is brown and juice begins to bubble through slits in crust, 40-50 minutes.
  7. Cool completely before serving.
