Blackberry Pie

1 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

2 . Stage

Combine 3 1/2 cups of blackberries with 1/2 cup sugar and flour in a large bowl. Spoon mixture into the unbaked pie crust. Spread remaining 1/2 cup berries on top of sweetened berries, and cover with the top crust. Seal and crimp the edges, and cut vents in the top crust for steam to escape.

3 . Stage

Brush the top crust with milk and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup sugar.

4 . Stage

Bake pie in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature of the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and bake until filling is bubbly and crust is golden brown, an additional 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on wire rack. Kari
