black raspberry pie

This black raspberry pie recipe creates a delightful dessert with a sweet and tart filling encased in a flaky, golden crust. It is a perfect treat for sharing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
  • 6 cups fresh black raspberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Gently toss black raspberries with granulated sugar, flour, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
  3. Place one pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish.
  4. Pour the black raspberry filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  5. Dot the top of the filling with small pieces of butter.
  6. Place the second pie crust over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. You can cut a few slits in the top crust for steam to escape or create a lattice top.
  7. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  8. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for another 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  9. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe black raspberries for the best flavor.
  • If using frozen raspberries, do not thaw them; toss them with the other ingredients while frozen and add a tablespoon or two more flour to absorb excess moisture.
  • To prevent the crust from browning too quickly, you can cover the edges with aluminum foil during the last part of baking.
