Classic Homemade Blackberry Pie

Begin by preheating your oven to a high temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently, 190 degrees Celsius.

Next, take a bowl and subject the blackberries to a vigorous crushing motion until they are mostly transformed into a liquid state, with only a few residual chunks remaining.

In another container, combine sugar, water, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Utilize a whisk to eliminate any lumps that may have formed during the mixing process, and then increase the heat to its maximum setting. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly; continue cooking for approximately 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Then, add the crushed blackberries to this mixture and blend them together until they are fully incorporated. Set the resulting mixture aside for further use.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Use your hands to mix these ingredients together until they form a crumbly texture.

Press the pie pastry into a pre-prepared pie pan, and then add the blackberry mixture on top. Finish by sprinkling a layer of crumbly mixture over the filling.

Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake until the bottom of the crust is cooked to a golden brown color, typically taking between 40 and 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for approximately 1 hour, during which time the filling will set.
