Ingredients

  • 2 cups blackberries fresh or frozen
  • 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon granulated sugar divided
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons corn starch
  • pie crust for 2 pies homemade or pre-made
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Add blackberries to a saucepan with 1/3 cup sugar, lemon juice and corn starch.
  • Stir together and cook over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until pie filling comes to a low boil and is thickened. Remove from heat.
  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • Roll out the pie crust and cut into 3 inch circles using a cookie cutter. We made 28 circles by pressing the scraps together and re-rolling the pie dough.
  • Place 14 of the circles onto parchment lined, rimmed baking sheets.
  • Use a small cookie cutter to cut the centers out of the remaining pie crusts. We used a small star cutter.
  • Spoon about 1 tablespoon of blackberry pie filling onto each pie crust.
  • Top each with another pie crust circle.
  • Crimp the edges of each pie together with a fork.
  • Beat an egg with a tablespoon of water and brush over the pies.
  • Mix 1 tablespoon sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the pies.
  • Brush egg wash over both sides of star cut-outs and place on the side of each pie. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
  • Bake 17-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove to a wire rack to cool.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.
