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
- Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse to mix.
- Add cold diced butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in cold water and pulse until moist clumps form.
- Transfer the dough to parchment paper, divide into balls, and flatten into discs. Do not knead.
- Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees once the crust is ready.
- Prepare the blackberry filling by heating water, lemon juice, vanilla, and blackberries in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Gently mix in sugar and cornstarch, cooking until the mixture thickens. Set aside.
- Sprinkle flour on the counter and roll out the bottom crust to a 12" circle, then place it in a 9" pie plate.
- Spread the blackberry filling evenly on the crust, avoiding the edges.
- Roll out the remaining crust and place it over the pie, trimming and sealing the edges.
- Whisk together egg and water, brushing it over the top crust.
- Sprinkle with sugar if desired and cut slits for steam to escape.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees and continue baking for 45-50 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
- Check at 30 minutes, covering if crust browns too quickly.
- Cool the pie at room temperature before serving.
Notes
Ensure butter is very cold for a flaky crust.
You can use frozen blackberries if fresh ones are not available.
Cool the pie completely for easier slicing.
