Ingredients
- 2 cups mulberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mulberries, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Mix well until the berries are coated evenly with the mixture.
- Roll out one pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges as needed.
- Pour the mulberry filling into the pie crust and spread it out evenly. Dot the top of the filling with butter.
- Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim the edges and crimp them together with the bottom crust to seal the pie.
- Cut a few slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Place the pie dish on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the filling to set.
- Serve the mulberry spice pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
