Fruit Sweetened Berry Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 double crust pie crust
2 lbs berries (1/2 of the bag of mixed berries from Costco is great!)
2 apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
1/2 cup flour
2 teaspoons orange zest
1/4 teaspoon orange extract
2 teaspoons cinnamon
3 tablespoons butter

Preparation

In large saucepan, combine the berries (I have used fresh black berries and the mixed berries from Costco), the thinly sliced apples (I have used granny smith), the flour, orange zest, orange extract and cinnamon. Stir over medium heat until thickened. Make sure to keep stirring so the berries don't scorch. Line a pie pan with crust. When berries are thickened pour into lined pie dish and top with butter, if desired. Top with second pie crust and crimp edges. Cut slits in the top of the pie and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until crust is golden. Enjoy!
