- 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
- In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, and salt; pulse to combine.

- Incorporate cold water, pulsing until moist clumps form.
- Transfer to parchment paper, divide into two balls, flatten into discs, and wrap in plastic wrap.

- Preheat the oven to 400°F when crust is ready.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine water, lemon juice, vanilla, and blackberries for filling.
- Stir in sugar and cornstarch, cooking until thickened; set aside to cool.
- Roll out the bottom crust to a 12" circle and transfer to a 9" pie plate.
- Carefully add the blackberry mixture, ensuring edges remain clean.
- Roll out the remaining dough for the top crust, place it over the pie, and trim edges.
- Pinch edges to seal and whisk together egg and water; brush over pie.
- Optionally sprinkle sugar on top, then cut slits for steam to escape.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 45-50 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
- Cover pie if crust browns too quickly and allow to cool before serving.
Notes
Ensure the butter is sufficiently cold for a flaky crust.
Adjust sugar based on the sweetness of the blackberries used.
Let the pie cool completely before slicing for cleaner slices.
