With the abudance of fresh blackberries, I couldn’t let the pie-making opportunity pass me by. I am so glad I made this pie. I sifted through 10 or 15 different blackberry pie recipes before coming to the conclusion I was going to need to create my own version. The part I was most concerned with was creating a thick enough berry filling–no one wants their pie running all over their plate.
This is fast and easy to throw together–especially if you have a homemade pie crust frozen and ready to use. ;)
