Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh blackberries
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 1 batch low-fat pie crust dough
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, mix together the fresh blackberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, 1/4 cup of water, lemon juice, and salt. Stir gently until the blackberries are coated, and the mixture begins to form a sauce.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the low-fat pie crust dough to fit your pie dish. Carefully transfer this to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it down to fit snugly against the bottom and sides.
Pour the blackberry mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Roll out the second half of the pie crust dough and carefully lay it over the blackberry filling. Trim any excess and crimp the edges to seal. If desired, you can create a lattice pattern with the top crust.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg white with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush this mixture over the top crust to encourage a golden-brown finish.
Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, and the filling is bubbly.
Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack at least 2 hours before serving to ensure the filling sets properly.
Slice and enjoy your low-fat classic blackberry pie with family and friends.
