Blackberry and Apple pie… or ‘forage pie!’


Elley Westbrook from Aga Twyford in Leominster has been raiding the hedgerows for this month’s treat.


Everything is a little early isn’t it? The blackberries are tender and juicy and I’ve been getting in there before the birds. My friend Belinda has the reddest apples on her tree; a tree I’m rather envious of. So I filched some…we used to do this as kids - pinch people’s apples and run. Well now I’m a tad older I ask and then demand a cup of tea for the privilege! This pie is perfect for the onset of autumn, after a lovely Sunday roast, as an accompaniment to a cuppa or even as a late-night sneaky snack, cold from the fridge, when no one’s looking (or is that just me?)
