Ingredients
Scale
- 2 recipes all butter pie crust, from a package or from scratch
- 1 egg, for eggwash
- 12 tablespoons (170g) cold unsalted butter, diced or grated
- ⅔ cup (133g) granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups (186g) all-purpose flour
- Pinch salt
- 5 cups blackberries (about 24 ounces or 650g)
- ⅔ cup (133g) granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons (30g) cornstarch
Instructions
- Roll out the two pie crusts into circles with a 9-10” diameter. Place one in a 9” pie plate and chill both for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove the rolled out pie crust from the refrigerator and slice into strips about 1/2-3/4” each. Chill for an additional 10 minutes.
- Prepare the filling and pour it into the chilled pie crust.
- Take the sliced strips from the refrigerator and place every other strip on the pie, spaced evenly apart.
- Fold back every other strip and place a shorter strip perpendicular to those already laid down. Flatten the folded strips.
- Now fold back the strips you didn’t first, laying down the next smallest strip parallel to the one before. Flatten again.
- Repeat the folding and layering process until all strips are used, crimping the edges as desired.
- Brush the top with eggwash and sprinkle sugar on top. Use a pie shield for the edges. Bake on a cookie sheet; start at 425°F for 10 minutes then decrease to 350°F for 35-45 minutes until golden-brown.
Notes
Chilling the pie crust helps achieve a flakier texture.
Feel free to adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of your blackberries.
Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor.
