- 6 cups fresh blackberries rinsed, and patted dry (if using frozen berries, defrost and drain them)
- ½ to ¾ cup sugar depending on how sweet your berries are
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract optional
- 5 –6 tablespoons cornstarch can substitute all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter cut into small cubes
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 3 tablespoons sugar or cinnamon sugar mixture
- 1 - double crust pie dough for top and bottom crust
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Combine the blackberries with sugar, cornstarch or flour, lemon juice, lemon zest, cinnamon, and almond extract in a large bowl. Spoon the mixture evenly into the unbaked pie crust. Cover with the top crust. Seal and crimp the edges, and cut vents in the top crust for steam to escape.
Brush the top of the crust with milk and sprinkle with additional sugar.
Place the pie on a parchment lined large baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated 425° (F) oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 350° and bake an additional 35–45 minutes until the filling is bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
