FRESH BLACKBERRY PIE
Blackberry Pie will not last long at any occasion. I made it on Saturday, this is Sunday, and there is one piece left. Blackberries are such a favorite in my house. We love anything with a blackberry in it! This blackberry pie recipe is delicious and makes a wonderful dessert or treat anytime.
Blackberry pie is easy and delicious.
2 (9 inch) pie shells, unbaked (You can make them yourself or use bought. I used Pillsbury frozen pie shells.)
4 1/2 cups fresh blackberries
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
Milk and 1 teaspoon brown sugar for top of crust, Optional
Place bottom crust in your pie place. (Tip: I spray my pie plate with cooking spray before I add the crust. I think this makes the pie come out of the pan easier). Prick bottom crust with fork. Mix all ingredients except butter, milk and brown sugar in a large bowl with a spoon. Pour into pie shell. Cut butter in pieces on top of filling. Place second pie shell on top and cut slits for steam to escape. Very lightly brush just a tiny bit of milk on top of the shell and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of brown sugar. Bake in preheated 425 degree oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees and cook 20-25 more minutes until pie is brown on top. Let cool before cutting. Makes one pie. Enjoy!
Note: I think you could use frozen blackberries in this recipe, too.

Mine came out watery. Followed directions exactly. Crust was perfect, lol
Nevermind…i used too much sugar.
Question: when measuring berries, is it by volume or weight?
It is volume.
I am planning on making this pie on Sunday. I have the 2 frozen pie shells myself…do you let the top one defrost before putting in on top? I am confused and want to make sure I do it right…thanks
If you are using the Pillsbury frozen pie shells that come rolled up in the box follow the directions on the box and lay them out until you can unroll them. If you are just using a frozen pie shell that comes in a pan I don’t thaw those first. I just put it over the pie filling.
Curious why you prick the bottom crust? Doesn’t it get soggy?
Pricking the crust just keeps out air bubbles.
I just made this but I used marion berries instead. I added a little more sugar. Thanks so much for the recipe!
Most delicious pie I’ve had in a long time!!! My boyfriend will not stop talking about it. Great recipe thank you!!
love this site, first day i saw it. will try recipes.
This looks great except my husband wants blackberry cobbler. He’s a little hard to please. Do you have a suggestion for a cobbler topping if I use the same filling recipe?
Hi Jennifer! Here is a link to several cobblers on the site. You can probably adapt any one of them to your pie for a topping. https://thesouthernladycooks.com/southern-ladys-favorite-recipes/cobblers-and-pies/
Holey Moley! I could just take a bite out of that gorgeous photo. This pie looks simply divine…thanks for sharing. Pinning!!!!
I made one also. Can you help me with the blackberry jelly? I have a gallon bag of berries and want to do jelly, but am not sure what to do. I need a very easy recipe! Thanks, Donna
Hi Donna, I have not made jelly in years and don’t have a recipe on the site. Try this site: http://allrecipes.com/ They are a great site and their recipes are rated so you know if it is good or not.

Sounds delicious! Can’t wait to try it soon! Keep them coming! Your recipes are always great! Enjoy following you blog!!
That. Looks. AMAZING!
One of the few fruit pies I like….. nice recipe!
Mine came out with tons of liquid in it ..and not really sweet enough. What did i do wrong?
Did you use fresh blackberries? It should not be watery with that much flour added. Maybe, the blackberries were overly ripe. I always taste my blackberries before adding to see if I think they are sweet enough. If not very sweet add more sugar.
