Ingredients

• 6 cups Fresh blackberries
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt
• 2 discs Pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk
• 1 tablespoon Coarse sugar (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place a baking sheet on the lower rack of the oven to catch any drips from the pie.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the blackberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Gently toss until the blackberries are evenly coated. Set aside to let the juices start to release while you prepare the crust.

Step 3

Roll out one disc of pie crust on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, allowing the excess dough to hang over the edges.

Step 4

Pour the blackberry mixture into the prepared pie crust. Dot the filling with small pieces of the unsalted butter evenly across the top.

Step 5

Roll out the second disc of pie crust into another 12-inch circle. Place it over the filling. Trim off excess dough, leaving about 1/2 inch overhang. Press the top and bottom crusts together to seal, and fold the edges under. Crimp the edges decoratively using your fingers or a fork.

Step 6

Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape while baking. Alternatively, create a lattice crust for a more decorative appearance.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush the mixture over the top crust and edges of the pie. If desired, sprinkle coarse sugar over the crust for extra sparkle and sweetness.

Step 8

Place the pie on the preheated baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Check the pie after 30 minutes and tent the edges with aluminum foil if they are browning too quickly.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours. This will help the filling set and make it easier to slice.

Step 10

Serve the pie slightly warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
