Ingredients
Scale
1 recipe for double pie crust
6 cups fresh black raspberries
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
Prepare your double pie crust according to your favorite recipe. Chill one crust for the bottom and the second for the top.
In a large bowl, gently combine the black raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt.
Pour the raspberry filling into the chilled bottom pie crust.
Dot the top of the filling with the small butter pieces.
Place the second pie crust over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal. Cut vents in the top crust.
Brush the top crust with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sugar.
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes.
Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for another 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Notes
If fresh black raspberries are not available, you can use frozen ones. Thaw them and drain any excess liquid before using.
For a crispier crust, you can brush the edges with melted butter before baking.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra special treat.
