Blackberry Apple Pie

I made this for my fruit pie, I love apple pie, but it can be a bit boring. Adding blackberries just adds a nice flavor to regular apple pie.
Ingredients:
5 sliced thin, and peeled tart apples
1 pint fresh blackberries
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 c. sugar
2 Tablespoons corn starch
2 Tablespoons butter, small cubes
1 egg
1 Tablespoon water
additional sugar
2 pie crusts, unbaked
While slicing and peeling apples, to prevent browning place in a bowl of water that has a little lemon juice in it(not the tablespoon that is needed for the recipe) Then line a pie tin with pie dough and prick bottom with fork all over, then drain your apples and make an even layer of sliced apples on bottom of pie. Then in large bowl add remaining apples, blackberries, and lemon juice and gently mix together. Combine sugar and cornstarch and gently toss with apples and blackberries. Spoon into unbaked pie shell. Dot with butter cubes all over. Then you can either make a lattice top with other pie dough or make entire crust over the top, just be sure to cut slits into top to let steam get out, and seal edges. LIne baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and place pie on it. Beat egg with water and brush over the top, you won't use it all.  Bake at 375 degrees for 50 minutes or until apples are tender and juice is bubbly. When you take it out sprinkle top with sugar. Let cool on wire rack at room temp.
