Blackberry Pie with Homemade Whole Wheat Pie Crust

Blackberry Pie RecipeBlackberry Pie is the first thing I want to make when blackberries go on sale. I buy blackberries once I see them hit around $.99 – $1.50 per 6 oz package.

This Blackberry Pie recipe is very easy. The hardest part is the homemade crust, and it is fairly simple.  This crust is more of a crumble – tasking a little crunchy and crispy, less flaky. So, if you are looking for a flakier type of crust, here are two options:

  1. Substitute half of the whole wheat flour for white flour.
  2. Use a store bought crust.

If you like your pie to be more soupy, to have more juice, you can omit the flour in the filling mixture. Adding the flour makes it thicker.

Blackberry Pie with Homemade Whole Wheat Pie Crust

Pie Filling:

1 lb blackberries,washed
1/3 cup sugar (I used turbinado)
2 teaspoons flour

Crust:

2 cups whole wheat flour (or 1 cup white, 1 cup wheat)
2/3 cup butter (or shortening), very cold
1 teaspoon salt
4-8 tablespoons cold water

    This looks magnificent! I haven’t tried your crust Kelly but I’d also recommend the PW’s perfect pie crust subbing whole wheat flour and palm shortening – I was pleasantly surprised:)!
