Blackberry-Lemon Pie

Directions

Ingredients :

1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie

¾ cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon lemon zest

4 cups fresh blackberries

rinsed and drained

1 cup white sugar

½ cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon lemon zest

1 tablespoon butter

Methods :

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Place bottom crust into a 9 inch pie pan. In a medium bowl, crumble remaining pie crust into a bowl with the brown sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon zest. Mix with hands until dough becomes pea-size crumbs. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine blackberries, white sugar, flour and 1 tablespoon lemon zest. Fill bottom pie crust with blackberry mixture. Sprinkle crumb topping over mixture and dot with butter.

Bake pie in preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until crust is browned and berries are bubbling. Let stand before serving.
