Fresh Blackberry Pie

By The Southern Lady Cooks

Ingredients

2 9 inch pie shells, unbaked (You can make them yourself or use bought. I used Pillsbury frozen pie shells.)
4 1/2 cups fresh blackberries
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
Milk and 1 teaspoon brown sugar for top of crust (Optional)

Instructions

Place bottom crust in your pie place. (Tip: I spray my pie plate with cooking spray before I add the crust. I think this makes the pie come out of the pan easier). Prick bottom crust with fork. Mix all ingredients except butter, milk and brown sugar in a large bowl with a spoon. Pour into pie shell. Cut butter in pieces on top of filling.

Place second pie shell on top and cut slits for steam to escape. Very lightly brush just a tiny bit of milk on top of the shell and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of brown sugar. Bake in preheated 425 degree oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees and cook 20-25 more minutes until pie is brown on top. Let cool before cutting.
