Beautiful Blackberry Pie!
This week’s Baked Sunday Mornings challenge was for this beautiful Blackberry Pie! I was a little anxious about this challenge because I’ve never made a double-crust pie before (yes, really!).

| Pie Crust Dough ready to chill |
Matt and Renato say that their Classic Pie Dough is very forgiving to work with – and it is. Not only does it have a velvety texture that is so different from other pie crusts that tend to be dry and lack flavor, it’s pliable and bakes up into a flaky, buttery crust that perfectly complements the Blackberries and Lemon flavor. This crust is so good that it’s like eating cobbler! And the raw sugar on top was a great finishing touch.

| Filled Bottom Crust |
The one thing I would do differently next time is add 1 – 2 teaspoons of Arrowroot to the filling. The flavor was perfect, but it was just too juicy – which I attribute to the freshness of the berries.

My brother called this pie, “Ridiculously delicious!”

Such a beautiful pie…you look like an old pro. Congrats on your 1st double crust pie. I loved everything about this pie except for the too watery filling…well there is no water, but it seemed like it. Hubby’s favorite dessert is fruit pie, about any variety, so we make pie every week. Now you will want to make pie more often too.
Beautiful pie! I thought this was ridiculously delicious too!
I agree that the pie crust was super easy to work with.
Yours looks really good. Congrats on your first double crusted pie!
So pretty! Your pie looks wonderful! I would have love to have gone to that lavender fest!
Wow, you rocked your first double crust pie!! Brava! Some day, I’ll get to join you on Baked Sunday Morning…August looks promising 🙂
I too loved the flavor of this pie. Yours looks superb 🙂
