Description

This is the best homemade blackberry pie recipe, featuring sweet or sour berries, a cinnamon crumb topping, and a store-bought crust for easy preparation.

Ingredients

4 cups fresh blackberries
1 cup white sugar
1 cup water
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 prepared pastry for a single-crust pie

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2 Smash blackberries in a bowl until they are mostly liquid, with only a few chunks remaining.
3 Bring sugar, water, cornstarch, and lemon juice to a boil in a saucepan over high heat: stir and cook for 3 minutes. Off heat, mix in blackberries.
4 Combine flour, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl. Add butter: mix until crumbly.
5 Press pie pastry into a pie pan. Add blackberry filling; top with crumble.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until the bottom of the crust is cooked and golden, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool, about 1 hour.
