Best Blackberry Pie Recipe

This isn't just a blackberry pie; it's a family heirloom! My mom's recipe, passed down through generations, delivers a burst of fresh blackberry flavor in every bite. Using quick-cooking tapioca and skipping the pre-cooking step ensures a vibrant, juicy filling. Whether you use fresh or frozen blackberries, this pie is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser – perfect for potlucks, holidays, or any gathering. We recommend using Martha Stewart's foolproof pie crust (recipe #59026) for a perfectly flaky double crust.

How to Make Best Blackberry Pie

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare your pie crust using Martha Stewart's foolproof pie crust recipe (#59026). Roll out one disc for the bottom crust and press into a 9-inch pie plate.
In a large bowl, gently combine blackberries, sugar, tapioca, lemon juice, and spices.
Pour the blackberry mixture into the prepared pie crust.
Roll out the second disc of pie crust and place it over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal.
Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake for 65 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
