Blackberry Pie

Late yesterday afternoon I decided to make a Blackberry Crumb Pie. I have never made a blackberry pie so I looked around for a recipe and came up with this.


One 9' pie crust (I always use the recipe from my old Betty Crocker Cookbook)

Crumb Topping:
  • 3/4 Cup Flour
  • 1/2 Cup Sugar
  • 1/4 Cup Butter
Mix together until crumbly. I use a pastry cutter

Filling:
  • 4 Cups of Berries
  • 1/2 Cup Sugar
  • 1/4 Cup Water
  • 2 1/2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
Directions:
  1. Pre-heat oven to 375 F
  2. Make crumb topping
  3. Cook all of the filling ingredients EXCEPT the berries on medium heat, stirring constantly with a wisk, until it is thick
  4. Remove from heat and stir in berries
  5. Pour filling into pie crust
  6. Place crumb topping over filling
  7. Bake about 45 minutes or until done (mine took about 1 hr)
  8. Cool a bit and Enjoy!
Boy, it was good!!

  1. Oh, that looks luscious. I'm looking forward to the day I have enough blackberries for a pie. Then hubby and I can get sick of them too, just like the strawberries.!!
    :D

  4. Sue, I am amazed at how much those blackberry bushes are producing. Now I'm going to make a batch of blackberry jam!

    Mrs.Bok, I am in desperate need of a new stove. The oven works fine but the stove top is about shot!

  6. Erin, oh boy was this kitchen a mess yesterday! I was trying to think how I'm going to re-arrange some things in the kitchen. I don't know where I'm going to sit all the harvests when they start coming in full blast! I sure could use your help!!

  11. Mr.H, It was definitely yummy!

    Laura, We are really enjoying these blackberries.

    EG, You'll have to ask your baker to make you one!

  15. Ginny, I hope that you like the recipe....let me know!

    Thomas, Oh boy, wouldn't that be great? I'm about ready for a change in scenery. As much as we love New England, I don't think "The Italian" would be up for a colder region. Even though it's not much. He likes the warm...me not so much!

    Sue, Boy, you are really harvesting a lot of fruit right now!

  16. I love the way you update your blog-title picture to match the goings on around your garden, and that blackberry pie looks delicious. Is there any left over?

  18. Jody, I used to keep the same picture at the top for quite awhile. Lately, I've been changing it. I really like this picture and it may stay for awhile. Yes, there is still pie left. There are only two of us here.

    Mac, yes there is...you can come over any time and do dishes! That is one thing that never seems to end once canning season starts!

  19. I only wish I had that many berries. And blackberries were never in the plant. So sad.

  20. I've made blackberry pie before with a lattice top crust, but never with a crumb topping. Yours looks delicious, I'll have to give it a try.

    I always use the pie crust recipe from my 1975 Betty Crocker cookbook. The page the recipe is on is covered in fingerprints!

  21. Hey OFGirl, It is yummy, especially with vanilla ice cream!

    Villager, I think my cookbook is from 1977. It is a must have in the kitchen. We also have the anniversary addition, which is just like my mother's old one.
