Blackberry Pie

We went with a friend to Butler's Orchard and picked Blackberries. They were huge!! It was a lot of fun!! Then the best part.. the PIE!!!

Blackberry Pie

• 4 cups fresh blackberries
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/4 cup white sugar

1. 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. Brush the top crust with milk, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar.
2. Bake at 425 degree F (220 degrees C) 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.

We actually didn't use the milk and sugar on top, and it was still great!! Instead of the refrigerated pie crust we used the pie crust recipe that I love!! You can also go to my Cherry Pie post and it has the crust recipe and what I do differently than the original recipe.
