A tasty blackberry pie, delicious with sweet or sour blackberries and simple and easy to make.
You can use light or dark brown sugar, if preferred.
This was requested by my son for his birthday. The recipe is easy to follow and he really loved the pie! I did change a few minor things. 1. I used Pumpkin Pie spice in place of the cinnamon 2. I added 1/4t of baking powder to the crumble to help the flour rise slightly and reduce the flour taste 3. I added 1/2 C old fashioned oats to the crumble since it's the way we like it. None of these are required for the recipe to turn out great; they're just our preferences. I was a bit skeptical on pan size, but it filled my 9 inch pie plate perfectly! If you are new to making fresh fruit pie, please be advised to place an aluminum foil covered cookie sheet under the pie to catch the over flow. The foil is much easier to clean than the oven :-)
