Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 sticks (8oz) unsalted butter, diced and very cold
  • 6–9 tablespoons ice water
  • 2 large honey crisp apples, peeled and diced small
  • 3 tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 tablespoons fruit juice or broth
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 18 oz fresh blackberries
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup raw or turbinado sugar (for sprinkling)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pie crust by mixing flour, sugar, and salt in a stand mixer. Add cold butter until crumbly, then mix in ice water until combined. Chill the dough for an hour.
  2. For the apple filling, sauté diced apples in butter until softened, then add fruit juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and brown sugar; cook until syrupy.
  3. Roast blackberries on a baking sheet, then combine with sugar and vanilla over medium heat until thickened.
  4. Roll out chilled dough, cut into pumpkin shapes using a cookie cutter, and cut out jack-o-lantern faces on half.
  5. Assemble by adding filling between two shapes, sealing edges with egg wash and fork prongs. Bake at 375°F for 25 minutes until golden.
