By á-8222

Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh blackberries
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• two 9'' round pie crusts
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon warm water

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Stir together sugar, lemon juice, zest, and cornstarch until just blended. Fold in berries gently until they are covered with the lemon mixture.

Line a pie pan with one of the crusts, and spoon berry filling into the pan. Cover with second crust, and crimp the edges together.

Whisk together egg yolk and water in a small bowl. Brush the top of the pie with the egg wash using a pastry brush, and cut slits into the top of the pie. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the berries are bubbling and the crust is golden brown.

Serve with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, or just enjoy it plain.
