Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh black raspberries
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, gently toss together the black raspberries, granulated sugar, flour, and lemon juice until well mixed. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the raspberries to release their juices.
- Unroll one of the refrigerated pie crusts and place it into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently against the bottom and sides.
- Pour the black raspberry filling into the pie crust and evenly distribute the cubes of butter over the top.
- Unroll the second pie crust and either place it on top of the filling as a whole or create a lattice pattern with the crust strips. Press the edges of the crusts together to seal.
- Brush the top crust with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow the filling to set.
- Slice and serve the black raspberry pie on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.
