Ingredients
Scale
- 2 recipes all butter pie crust, from a package or from scratch
- 1 egg, for eggwash
- 12 tablespoons (170g) cold unsalted butter, diced or grated
- ⅔ cup (133g) granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups (186g) all-purpose flour
- Pinch salt
- 5 cups blackberries, about 24 ounces or 650g
- ⅔ cup (133g) granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons (30g) cornstarch
Instructions
- Roll out the two pie crusts into circles with a 9-10” diameter and place one in a 9” pie plate. Chill both the pie plate and the crust for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove the rolled out pie crust from the refrigerator and slice into strips, about 1/2-3/4” wide. Chill for an additional 10 minutes.
- Prepare the blackberry filling and add it to the chilled pie crust.
- Lay the sliced crust strips on top of the filling, spacing them evenly apart.
- Fold back every other strip and place a shorter strip perpendicular to the others, flattening the folded strips back down after placing each new strip.
- Continue this process, folding back alternating strips and layering them until all the crust has been used up. Crimp the edges as desired.
- Brush the crust with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Cover the edges with a pie shield, then bake on a cookie sheet.
- Bake at 425°F for 10 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350°F for 35-45 minutes until the crust starts to turn golden. Preheat the oven to 425°F before starting.
Notes
Using fresh blackberries enhances the flavor of the pie.
Ensure the butter is cold for the best pie crust texture.
You can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a delicious treat.
