Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup butter, cold & diced
- 7 tbsp cold water
- 1 egg + 1 tbsp water for egg wash
- sugar for sprinkling, optional
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 6 cups blackberries
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 5 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Make the crust by combining flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor.
- Add cold, diced butter and pulse until coarse crumbs are formed.
- Pour in cold water and pulse until moist clumps form.
- Transfer dough to parchment paper, divide into balls, and flatten into discs without kneading.
- Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees when crust is ready.
- Prepare the blackberry filling by combining water, lemon juice, vanilla, and blackberries in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir in sugar and cornstarch gently and cook until thickened, then set aside.
- Sprinkle flour on the counter and roll out the bottom crust to a 12" diameter.
- Wrap the crust around the rolling pin and transfer it to a 9" pie plate.
- Add the blackberry mixture evenly, avoiding edges to ensure a good seal.
- Roll out the remaining crust and place it over the pie.
- Trim the edges and seal them using fingers or a fork.
- Whisk together 1 egg and 1 tbsp water, then brush over the top of the pie.
- Optional: Sprinkle sugar on top of the pie.
- Cut slits in the center of the pie for steam to escape.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350 degrees.
- Continue baking for 45-50 minutes until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
- Check at 30 minutes; if the crust is brown, cover the pie to prevent further browning.
- Allow the pie to cool at room temperature before slicing.
Notes
For a sweeter pie, add additional sugar to the blackberry filling according to taste.
Ensure the butter is cold for a flaky crust.
Serve with vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
