You can substitute any berry in this blackberry pie recipe and adjust the sugar accordingly. This is a delicious and flaky summer pie made with sun-ripened blackberries. What berry would you use?

Blackberry Pie
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.
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.

If using frozen blackberries, should they be thawed first or thawed and drained or kept frozen to make filling?
Teresa says
Deep dish pan will it be enough filling
Brandy says
Hi! I’m not sure. May want to make a little extra for a full pie.
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.
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. 🙂

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.

My family rented a cute house off the Willamette River in WestFir, Oregon. The kids picked a TON of berries and I made this wonderful pie recipe. It turned out AMAZING!

I'm so glad! I'm wishing I had some blackberries right now! 🙂
Areli Ellsworth says
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 🙂
Lani says
