Best Homemade Blackberry Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Combine 3 1/2 cups berries with the sugar and flour. Spoon the mixture into an unbaked pie shell. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup berries on top of the sweetened berries, and cover with the top crust. Seal and crimp the edges, and cut vents in the top crust for steam to escape.
• Brush the top crust with milk, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature of the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. Cool on wire rack.

Steps:

• Toss together the berries, granulated sugar, vanilla and lemon zest and juice in a large bowl. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, unroll one pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie plate. Roll out the other crust on a floured cutting board. Using a 2-inch round biscuit cutter, cut the entire crust into rounds, rerolling until all the dough is used (about 28 rounds).
• Sprinkle the cornstarch over the berry mixture and toss to combine. Pour the berry mixture into the crust and spread into an even layer. Dot the top with the butter pieces. Brush the border of the dough lightly with the egg wash. Place the rounds around the border of the pie plate, overlapping them slightly and using the egg wash as an adhesive when necessary. There will be empty space in the center. Crimp the edge of the pie. Brush the entire crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.
• Put the pie plate on a baking sheet and bake until the center is set and the crust is golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Put on a wire rack to cool completely. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Smash blackberries in a bowl until they are mostly liquid, with only few chunks remaining.
• Combine sugar, water, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Whisk out lumps and turn heat to high. Bring to a boil and stir; continue to cook for 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add blackberries and mix together; set aside.
• Combine flour, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon in another bowl. Add butter and mix with your hands until clumpy and crumbly.
• Press pie pastry into a pie pan and add blackberry filling; top with crumble.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the bottom of the crust is cooked and golden, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for filling to set, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• Prepare pie dough of your choice, chill, and roll out top and bottom crusts.
• Preheat oven to 400.
• Mix berries, tapioca, sugar, lemon juice, and salt in medium bowl.
• Line 9" glass pie plate with dough. Fill with berry mixture. Dot with butter.
• Cover with top crust; seal and flute edge. Cut several slits in crust to vent.
• Brush top crust with milk and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
• Bake for 45-50 minutes or until top and bottom crusts are golden brown. I usually cover crust with a foil circle part way through to prevent over-browning.

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with foil. Place the baking sheet on the center rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Allow the baking sheet to heat for 15 minutes.
• To a large bowl, add the blackberries, raspberries, 1 cup of the sugar, 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon, the arrowroot, flour and salt, and toss gently to combine. In a separate small bowl mix the remaining 1 teaspoon sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and set aside.
• Butter a 9-inch ceramic or glass pie dish. Unroll one pie crust and place into the pie dish. Pour the berry mixture into the crust. Unroll the second pie crust and place on top of the filling. Pinch the edges of the top and bottom crusts together to seal. Fold the double edge under and crimp, making a decorative edge. Sprinkle the reserved sugar and cinnamon mixture over the top. Using a paring knife, cut a few slits in the top of the pie crust.
• Place the pie into the oven on the prepared baking sheet and bake until the crust is deep golden and the filling is bubbling through the slits, 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Cool the pie to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Place half the rolled pastry crust into the bottom of a 9-inch glass pie plate.
• Rinse berries and allow to drain (make sure they are dry when you use them- you can blot them with paper toweling if needed).
• Mix berries with the cornstarch and 1/2 cup sugar until all the sugar and cornstarch is taken up.
• Place coated berries on the bottom crust in the pie plate.
• Top berries with rolled pastry crust.
• Entwine the upper and lower edges of crust and crimp to form a seal.
• Beat egg white until frothy in a small dish.
• Using a brush, coat top crust lightly with egg white.
• Sprinkle crust with 2 tbsp sugar.
• Using a sharp knife, cut several vents in the top crust.
• Place pie plate on a baking or cookie sheet and bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes.
• Watch the crust on the pie that it doesn't brown too much--cover with foil or a crust guard if necessary.
• Cool pie thoroughly on a wire rack before serving.

Steps:

• Put the butter and flour in a food processor with 1/4 tsp salt and blend until the mixture resembles damp breadcrumbs. Or do this by rubbing the butter and flour together in a big bowl with your fingertips. Add the sugar and briefly whizz again or stir to combine.
• Whisk the egg yolk with 2 tbsp cold water, and drizzle over the flour mixture. Use the pulse button to blend the mixture once more, keep going until it starts to form larger clumps. If the mixture seems too dry, add a little more water a tsp or 2 at a time, but no more than 3 tsp in total.
• Tip out onto a work surface and briefly knead the dough to bring it together into a smooth ball. Avoid overworking or it will become tough. Flatten the dough into a puck shape and wrap well in cling film. Chill for at least 30 mins, or for up to 2 days, or freeze for 2 months.
• Next, make the filling. Put the apples and half the sugar in a large bowl, then stir together until the apples are well coated. Set aside for 30 mins to macerate.
• Remove the pastry dough from the fridge and divide into 2 pieces, one slightly larger than the other. Re-wrap the smaller piece of dough and set aside. Divide the larger piece of dough into the number of pies you'd like to make, or leave whole for a large one. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to the thickness of a 50p piece, or until large enough to line the base of your pie plate or tin, with a little pastry overhanging. Roll the dough over your rolling pin, lift onto your plate or tins, then press it well into the corners. Scatter the polenta or almonds over the base.
• Drain any juice from the apples, then toss through the remaining sugar, cornflour and cinnamon. Layer the apples and blackberries in the lined dish, creating a dome effect in the centre. Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and place a baking sheet on the middle shelf.
• Now choose how you'd like to decorate the top of the pie (see tips below). Once covered, whisk the reserved egg white and brush over the pastry. Scatter with extra sugar, then put the pie on the baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 mins for mini pies, 35-40 mins for medium pies, or 45 mins for a large pie, until the pastry is golden and crisp and the juices are bubbling. Cool for 10 mins before serving with cream or ice cream.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine sugar, tapioca and salt. Add 1 cup blackberries; toss to coat. Let stand for 15 minutes. Cook and stir over medium heat until berries burst and mixture comes to a gentle boil. Remove from the heat; gently stir in remaining berries., Preheat oven to 400°. On a lightly floured surface, roll half of dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim even with rim. Add filling; dot with butter. Roll remaining dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle. Place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edge. Cut slits in top., Bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 35-40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
