You can substitute any berry in this blackberry pie recipe and adjust the sugar accordingly. This is adelicious and flaky summer pie made with sun-ripened blackberries. What berry would you use?
You might also like our peach pie, fresh cherry pie or our blueberry pie recipe!
Last week the kids and I went to the Johnson Fruit Farm in Gridley, CA and picked berries. Lots and lots of berries! We ended up arriving later than planned because we made a few stops beforehand sowhen we got there it was 100 degrees out. As we began picking the berries and sweat was dripping off my forehead I thought, “Why are we here?!?!”. Then I saw how fast we were able to work with 5 of us there and we filled up enough buckets to fill two flats of berries and it wasn’t so bad.
Nothing is better than a fresh berry pie. You can use this blackberry pie recipe for any berry! Just adjust the sugar up or down, accordingly. My husband rolled his eyes as he saw us putting them in the oven…it was still over 100 degrees outside, but that hour of having the oven baking and adding to the inside temps was definitely worth it!
Blackberry Pie
Pie Crust:
I HATE making pie crust. Even with this awesome recipe from Betty Crocker’s cookbook that rolls out really well, I find it nerve-wracking. But this is a good recipe and comes out flaky. I think it is because it uses butter, shortening, and oil.
TIP: if you don’t have buttermilk you can substitute milk + 1 tsp. lemon juice. Just pour the lemon juice into the milk and it will thicken slightly like buttermilk.
In large bowl, mix sugar, 1/2 cup flour and stir in blackberries. Spoon into pastry-lined pie plate. Sprinkle any remaining sugar mixture over blackberry mixture.
Cover with top pastry that has slits cut in it; seal and flute. If you’d like to make a lattice pie crust for the top, check out our blueberry pie with a lattice crust for step by step photos and instructions.
Tip: Cover edge with 2- to 3-inch strip of foil to prevent excessive browning.
My girls like making little decorations out of the leftover crust. Hence, the butterfly 🙂
Ready to go in the oven! Bake for about 50 minutes. Let cool for 30 minutes to an hour before serving. The filling will thicken as the pie cools.
Freezing Blackberry Pie
I like making two pies at once. If you’re going to make a mess in your kitchen might as well make it worth it! You can easily freeze an unbaked pie by wrapping it in plastic wrap then wrapping it in foil before placing it into the freezer. Pies can be frozen up to 4 months. DO NOT THAT before baking the frozen pie. Place unwrapped frozen pie on a baking sheet and bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes then 350 for 60 minutes or until done.

We have to wait until late July or early August for the blackberries to ripen up here in BC, but when they do they are free for the picking. I just love that time of year! – Margy

I am going to try and make this pie, but what I notice, in your recipe you didn’t include the degrees the oven needed to be to bake the pie. Could you tell me at how many degrees you baked the pie? Thanks!

Brandy says
Oops! Thanks for letting me know! 425 degrees 🙂

I love this recipe, but I use 3cups Blackberries and 3cups Blueberries. It turns out wonderful and have gotten a lot of compliments fixed with 1/2 and 1/2 mixture. Love the crust, it is my favorite.

MaryBeth says
Just clarifying, because I am not a true pie/dessert maker. Is this recipe for 2 pies? 6 cups of berries seems a lot, for one. Thanks in advance.
Reply
Brandy says
Hi MaryBeth! 6 cups will make 1 pie. The berries mash down when baking so you need quite a few for the filling. 🙂

Teresa says
Deep dish pan will it be enough filling
Reply
Brandy says
Hi! I’m not sure. May want to make a little extra for a full pie.

Jo says
If using frozen blackberries, should they be thawed first or thawed and drained or kept frozen to make filling?
