Ingredients
  

Pie Crust
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 6 tablespoons ice water more if needed
Filling
  • 4 cups fresh blackberries washed and drained
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar adjust to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon butter to dot on filling

Method
 

Make the Pie Crust
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Add cold, cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape into disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Prepare the Filling
  1. In a large bowl, combine blackberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Gently toss to coat the berries evenly.
Assemble the Pie
  1. Preheat the oven to 425?F (220?C). Roll out one disk of dough on a floured surface to fit the pie pan. Place the rolled dough into the pie pan.
  2. Pour the blackberry filling into the crust and dot with butter. Roll out the second disk of dough and place it over the filling. Seal and flute the edges, then cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape.
Bake the Pie
  1. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  2. Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to let the filling set.
