Have I got an easy and delicious recipe to share with you all today.  This Blackberry Thyme Rustic Pie is to die for!  I just love mixing fruit with herbs.  They enhance each other’s flavors and make for a winning combination.  For this recipe I choose to marry blackberries with thyme and the flavor is amazing.

First you start by making a basic pie crust.

Buttery Flaky Pie Crust by www.thecasualcraftlete.com

  No special equipment is needed to make this pie crust.  It’s just a basic butter crust that my grandma used to make.  Instead of using a food processor or pastry cutter, I used two forks to cut the butter into the flour.  You do want to make sure your wet ingredients are very cold.  I placed the stick of butter into the freezer for about 15 minutes just to make sure it was nice and cold.  I also placed a couple of ice cubes into a cup of cold water.  This will help get the desired buttery flaky crust you want.

 For the pie filling I used 2 cups of fresh blackberries.  Then I squeezed in the juice from half a lemon along with the zest.  Stir in 2 tablespoon of corn starch and 3-4 tablespoons of granulated sugar.  Add the leaves from 5 sprigs of fresh thyme and mix it all together in a medium size bowl.

 Once the dough has chilled, use a rolling pin to roll the dough out onto a floured surface into a 1/8 inch piece or about 12 inches around.  Move the dough onto a baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper.  Add the pie filling into the center of the pie leaving a 4 inch border.   Fold the border of the dough over the edge of the filling.  Brush the dough with an egg wash. Place in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and firm. Allow to cool before serving. Serve at room temperature or slightly warm.
