Blackberry Pie is one of the easiest pie recipes and perfect for summer berry season! You can make this pie with fresh or frozen berries and choose your topping: lattice, double crust or crumble topping.
When I was young, my Aunt and Uncle lived in Washington. They’d come down every August to visit and my aunt would make a two crust blackberry pie. My dad was practically salivating two full weeks beforehand in anticipation. Blackberry is his favorite. This recipe came from my aunt and I’ve been making it for so many years!
This pie can be made with fresh or frozen blackberries and you can use a double crust, lattice crust, or make a crumble topping. The juicy blackberry filling pops in your mouth – this is the perfect summer pie recipe!
This is one of the things I love about making fruit pies with my recipe: you can use fresh or frozen fruit.
How to use fresh blackberries: If blackberries are in season, by all means, make this a fresh blackberry pie. To prepare your berries just wash and drain them and remove any stems.
How to use frozen blackberries: If you want to make a pie when fruit isn’t in season you can definitely use frozen blackberries to make this recipe. Simply thaw and drain frozen berries. Be sure to drain them very well so there is no extra liquid in your filling.
It’s important to get the pie crust and topping ready before you make the pie filling so that once you toss the berries with the sugar you immediately place it in the pie, top, and bake it. Decide how you’re going to top your pie: Lattice Pie, Double Crust Pie, or Crumble Topped Pie.
1. If you’re making my pie dough recipe, decide if you need 2 crusts or just one. Roll out one disk of dough and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Chill until ready to fill.
2. If using my crumble topping, make that recipe by placing butter, sugar, flour, and salt in a large bowl and using a pastry blender or two forks to work the mixture into crumbles.
3. If making a lattice top, roll out the second dough and cut 1-inch slices, or if using a double crust just roll it out and set aside.
4. Make the filling by tossing blackberries with cornstarch, sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice. Immediately place pie filling in prepared pie pan.
5. Top with the second crust and cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape, or design your lattice on top of the filling. Or just top with crumble.
6. Place pie on a baking sheet and cover with a pie crust shield or strips of aluminum foil. This ensures your edges don’t get over done.
While it’s important to completely cool your pie before slicing so it has time to set, I like the pie warmed or at least room temperature. If you want to warm it, just heat in the microwave a few seconds.
My preferred way to serve fruit pie is with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
When the crust is golden on top and the filling is bubbly, then the pie is done.
This pie recipe should produce a mostly set pie. If it’s too liquidy, then the following things may have happened: You cut it too soon. You should let it cool completely – and even chill it – before slicing. Is the pie a day or two old? The berries will weep the longer they sit. Did you drain your berries – especially frozen ones – completely? Letting the pie sit before baking will also make the pie wetter.
Recipes call for either cornstarch or flour, but I find cornstarch does a better job thickening fruit pies.
