Ingredients

• 6 cups Fresh blackberries
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 9-inch Pie crust, refrigerated or homemade
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for sprinkling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine blackberries, 1 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir gently until the blackberries are evenly coated.

Step 3

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the pie crusts and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan, trimming any excess dough.

Step 4

Pour the blackberry mixture into the prepared pie crust, distributing the filling evenly.

Step 5

Dot the filling with small pieces of unsalted butter.

Step 6

Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim excess, then crimp the edges to seal. Cut small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 7

In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.

Step 8

Brush the top crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sugar for a sparkling finish.

Step 9

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Step 10

Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 11

If the edges of the crust brown too quickly, cover them with strips of aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.

Step 12

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before serving.
