Wild Blackberry Pie

Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh wild blackberries
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup cold butter, cut into pieces
• 1 recipe double-crust pie dough
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 tablespoon sugar

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine the blackberries, 1/4 cup sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir to combine.
3. Roll out the bottom pie crust and transfer it to the greased pie pan. Pour the berry mixture into the crust.
4. Roll out the top crust and place it over the berry mixture. Crimp the edges of the crust together and cut several vents in the top to allow the steam to escape.
5. Brush the top of the pie with milk and sprinkle with the remaining sugar.
6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Allow to cool before serving.
