Blackberry Pie Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Blackberry Pie Delight.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a toasty 425°F (220°C). This will ensure your pie bakes evenly and gets that lovely golden color.

2. Step 2

   Next, take your double crust pie pastry and gently press one of the crusts into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. Make sure it fits snugly, as this will hold all the delicious filling!

3. Step 3

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh blackberries, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and lemon juice. Toss everything together until the blackberries are well coated. This mixture is where the magic happens, so feel free to taste and adjust the sweetness to your liking!

4. Step 4

   Pour this luscious blackberry mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly. It should look inviting already!

5. Step 5

   Now, take the second pie crust and slice it into 1-inch strips. We’re going to create a beautiful lattice pattern on top. Start weaving the strips over the filling, alternating them to form a crisscross design. Once you’ve finished, seal the ends of the lattice to the bottom crust with a dab of water and crimp the edges together for a polished look.

6. Step 6

   To give your pie a lovely shine, brush the lattice top with the beaten egg. This will help it achieve that perfect golden hue while baking.

7. Step 7

   Pop your pie into the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for another 15 minutes. Keep an eye on it! If the edges start to brown too quickly, loosely cover them with aluminum foil.

8. Step 8

   Finally, let the pie bake until it’s bubbling and the filling is thickened, which should take an additional 10 to 15 minutes. The aroma will be irresistible!

9. Step 9

   Once done, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This will allow the filling to set a bit more.
