Granny's Blackberry Apple Pie

2 1/2 pounds apples, peeled, cored, sliced 
2 cups blackberries, fresh or frozen 
1 cup sugar 
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 
2 tablespoons flour 
1 tablespoon butter 
pie crust for two-crust pie 
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 
Mix the apples and blackberries together in a large bowl. 

Blend the dry ingredients together, and then gently mix into the fruit. Spoon the filling into the prepared crust, then dot with butter. Top with the remaining pie crust. Crimp the edges of the top and bottom crusts together, sealing the fruit into the shell. Whisk the egg yolk and milk together, and brush this wash over the top crust. Pierce the top pie crust several times with a knife, to allow steam to escape. 

Bake at 375 degrees for 1 1/4 hours, until the apples are tender when poked with a thin knife. If crust seems to be browning too quickly, reduce the heat to 325 degrees.
Makes 1 pie

Time has no divisions to mark its passage, there is never a thunder-storm or blare of trumpets to announce the beginning of a new month or year. Even when a new century begins it is only we mortals who ring bells and fire off pistols.
