Blackberry Pie with Streusel (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Filling

01 - 6 cups fresh blackberries
02 - 1 cup sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
04 - ⅓ cup corn starch

→ Pie Crust

05 - 1 cup flour
06 - ½ teaspoon salt
07 - ½ cup cold butter
08 - ¼ cup buttermilk or milk plus a splash of vinegar

→ Streusel

09 - ½ cup flour
10 - 3 tablespoons sugar
11 - 3 tablespoons brown sugar
12 - 4 tablespoons melted butter

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a pie pan and set aside.
02 - In a large saucepan, add the blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer, stir in the corn starch, and cook until thickened. Let cool to room temperature.
03 - In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Grate cold butter into the mixture and cut in until butter pieces are pea-sized. Add buttermilk and mix until dough just comes together. Shape into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and brown sugar. Drizzle in melted butter and whisk until crumbly. Refrigerate until ready to use.
05 - Roll the dough out on a floured surface to fit the pie pan. Press into the pan and shape edges to form the crust.
06 - Spread the filling evenly into the crust. Sprinkle the streusel on top in an even layer.
07 - Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling and thick. Let cool completely before slicing and serving.

# Notes:

01 - To freeze an unbaked pie, assemble it, freeze until the filling is firm, then wrap in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Bake from frozen, adding 15-20 minutes to the baking time.
02 - A baked pie can be stored at room temperature for one day, refrigerated for up to 5 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
