Blackberry Pie is a classic dessert featuring a buttery, flaky crust filled with sweet and tangy fresh blackberries. It’s perfect for summer gatherings or as a cozy year-round treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups fresh blackberries
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently mix blackberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Roll out one pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges.
  4. Pour the blackberry filling into the crust and dot with butter.
  5. Top with the second crust—either a full top crust with slits for steam or a lattice pattern. Seal and crimp the edges.
  6. Brush the top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
  7. Place pie on a baking sheet and bake for 45–55 minutes or until crust is golden and filling is bubbling.
  8. Cool for at least 2 hours before serving to allow filling to set.

Notes

  • Use frozen blackberries if fresh are not available—no need to thaw first.
  • Protect the edges of the crust with foil if they brown too quickly.
  • Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
