Delicious Blackberry Pie Recipe

Indulge in the sweet and tangy flavors of fresh blackberries with this homemade blackberry pie recipe. The buttery, flaky crust pairs perfectly with the juicy blackberry filling, making it a delightful dessert for any occasion.

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup butter, cold and cubed
• 1/2 cup ice water
• 6 cups fresh blackberries
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tbsp milk

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix the flour and cold cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Slowly add in the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. In a large bowl, combine the blackberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the blackberries evenly.
5. Roll out one of the dough discs on a floured surface to fit a pie dish. Place the dough in the dish and trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.
6. Pour the blackberry filling into the pie crust. Roll out the second dough disc and place it over the filling. Seal the edges and make slits in the top crust for venting.
7. Mix the beaten egg with milk and brush the top crust with the egg wash.
8. Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let it cool before serving.
9. Enjoy a slice of delicious homemade blackberry pie!
