❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
We love blackberry desserts and this pie is no exception! It’s a delicious summer favorite and one your family will love too. Not a lot of ingredients, made with two crusts and wonderful topped with ice cream.
🍴KEY INGREDIENTS
- 2 Pie Shells
- Blackberries
- Sugar
- Vanilla Extract
- Cinnamon
- Flour
- Butter
- Brown Sugar
- Milk
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
We made our own pie crust when we made this pie, but you can easily use store bought. We prefer Pillsbury and you can roll those out and would be fine for this pie.

Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Very lightly brush just a tiny bit of milk on top of the shell and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of brown sugar.
Step 4
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.

OTHER BLACKBERRY DESSERTS
We are a huge fan of blackberry desserts and have quite a few on our website. You can always use the search box to look for all of them, but here are a few of our favorites!
STORING, REHEATING & SERVING SIZE
We store this pie in the refrigerator, and reheat a slice in the microwave but it’s just as good cold! Makes one pie so about 6-8 slices depending on size.

This is absolutely the BEST blackberry pie I’ve ever eaten and totally simple with on-hand ingredients!! Will make this again n again!! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect!! Thank you
We are so thrilled you enjoyed this pie! We love this one too!
Could I use Blueberries instead of Blackberries using the same measurements of the ingredients listed?
Yes, you could, but we have a wonderful blueberry pie on the site as well. Just use the search box to find it.
Can’t wait to try this recipe. I am planning to tomorrow.
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. There is also a Facebook page called Canning Granny you can check out. You can tell her I sent you. She may be able to help you, too. Here is the link for her: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Canning-Granny/136086363131231. I hope this helps you. Have a great day.
Thanks!
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.
