Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.5 cups Ice water
• 5 cups Dewberries (fresh or frozen)
• 1 cups Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for filling)
• 1 Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Divide the dough into two discs, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 4

In a large bowl, toss the dewberries with the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Mix gently to combine and set aside.

Step 5

On a floured surface, roll out one disc of chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing gently into the edges and leaving a slight overhang.

Step 6

Pour the dewberry filling into the prepared crust. Dot the filling with the 2 tablespoons of butter.

Step 7

Roll out the second disc of dough into another 12-inch circle. Place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal the pie, and cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 8

Brush the top of the pie with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.

Step 9

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 10

Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to allow the filling to set.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
