Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 recipe double pie crust homemade or store bought
  • 5 cups blackberries
  • ½ cup granulated sugar if berries are tart, increase to ⅔ cup
  • 5 Tablespoons cornstarch if berries are tart, decrease to 4 Tablespoons
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter cut into small pieces
  • 1 Tablespoon milk
  • ½-1 Tablespoon coarse sugar optional garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Place pie plate or pie tin on a parchment lined baking tray.
  • Add bottom crust to pie plate.
  • In a large bowl, gently mix blackberries, sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. It is ok if some berries get crushed.
  • Add blackberry mixture to pie crust. Dot with butter pieces.
  • Cut slits or design in second pie crust (which allows steam to escape), or if preferred, create a lattice top. Place on top of the pie. Roll and crimp edges of pie crusts to seal, creating a pattern if desired (trim edges if needed).
  • Carefully brush the entire pie crust top with milk. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired. Place pie tin on parchment lined baking tray. Bake 45-55 minutes, until berries are bubbling and slightly thickened (internal temperature should reach 205°F). After about 25-30 minutes, and if the top starts to get browned, loosely tent with foil for the remainder of baking time.
  • Cool completely on a cooling rack (3-4 hours) before cutting and serving. Slice and serve with ice cream or whipped cream!

Notes

  • Line your tray with parchment for easy cleanup.
  • Adjust sugar to taste.
  • Vent crust to release steam.
  • Cool before slicing to prevent leaks.
  • Spoon out extra juice and use it in smoothies or over ice cream.
  • Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days or in the freezer for 3 months.
