Apple-Berry Twist Pie
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 6 ounces cold cream cheese, cut into small pieces
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar or fresh lemon juice
- 2 pounds assorted apples (such as Gala, Fuji or Honeycrisp)
- 8 ounces thawed frozen mixed berries (such as blueberries, blackberries and/or raspberries; about 2 cups)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- Pinch of salt
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 teaspoons turbinado sugar
- Make the crust: Pulse the flour and salt in a food processor to combine.
- Add 2 tablespoons butter; pulse a few times until the mixture looks like cornmeal.
- Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and pulse until it is in pea-size pieces.
- Add the cream cheese; pulse a few more times until the dough just comes together.
- Add the vinegar and 1 tablespoon ice water; pulse a few times until the dough is moist.
- Divide the dough between two pieces of plastic wrap.
- Shape each into a disk and wrap.
- Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Put a baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 425 degrees F for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the filling: Peel the apples and slice about 1/4 inch thick; toss with the berries, granulated sugar, flour, vanilla, butter and salt in a large bowl.
- Set aside.
- Roll out 1 disk of dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface.
- Ease into a 9-inch pie plate.
- Fold the overhanging dough under itself.
- Add the filling.
- Roll out the remaining disk of dough into an 8-inch round on a lightly floured surface; slice into 12 strips.
- Brush the strips with some of the beaten egg.
- One at a time, twist the strips of dough and, working from the center of the pie outward, arrange the strips on the pie to make one continuous coil.
- Brush the top of the pie with the remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.
- Transfer the pie to the hot baking sheet in the oven and bake 15 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling, 50 to 55 more minutes.
- (Tent with foil if the crust browns too quickly.)
- Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
