I'm not a big fan of fruit pies. Mostly because I'm not a fan of pie crust. Weird, right? I know. I've never been accused of having normal tastes! That being said, I decided to try a lattice top. Please excuse how poorly it turned out! It was my first try, and I let Thing 4 help me with it. Yeah, we'll blame it on the kid. Sounds good to me! And since I don't really make fruit pies very often, I don't have a good recipe...just some guidance from my gut.
You'll need:
2 pie crusts (I cheat...Pillsbury does a great job making refrigerated pie crusts)
Berries to fill the pie
A few tablespoons of sugar
A little bit of flour
A few pats of butter
1 egg, or a bit of milk to brush on top of the pie
Place first pie crust on bottom of pie plate and push all the way down...but don't smash it into the pan!
In large bowl, carefully mix berries with a few tablespoons of sugar and a little bit of flour or cornstarch to thicken it up. Fill pie.
Add a few pats of butter to the top.
Either place second pie crust on top, or cut into strips and weave onto top.
Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the top shell with either an egg well beaten, or a bit of milk.
Bake at 425 for 15 minutes, then at 375 for 40 minutes.
Allow to cool completely. Cut and serve!

The Lattice Pie crust is really pretty and flatters that pie nicely. p.s. did I read the word "can" in there?????
Yes, you did! I've been a canning fool! But don't worry...you'll be able to see all the posts in August. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
I'm a firm believer that fruit and vegetables should not be a part of any dessert but I think your pie looks lovely!
Great looking pie! I think I would have to cheat with the Pillsbury crust too!

It looks wonderful! I grew up having a supply of blackberries in my back field. I miss them. My mom would make blackberry cobblers. Easier than a pie crust!
