I've made this recipe a total of three times in the past month (can you tell I liked it?). Each time I tried a slightly different variation. The recipe as stated tastes great. However, I recommend brushing part of an egg on the bottom of the pie shell before adding the berries so that the bottom will not become soggy. Instead of using all-purpose flour, I tried tapioca flour once. It turned out a thicker and bit sweeter berry filling than the straight flour. I liked it. Another thing I did was to add a tablespoon or two of cold butter chopped up and sprinkled over the berries. If you like a buttery flavor, this is definitely the way to go. All three times I used a butter pie crust. If you have the option between frozen and fresh blackberries, I highly recommend the fresh. I tried both. The fresh were much tastier. When it came down to it... each variation tasted great and I highly recommend this recipe. It is resilient to modifications and very tasty.

This dish was so easy, my husband made it!! He used frozen blackberries, and the pie was still delicious. I was a little worried at first, because there seemed to be extra sugar&flour in the mix, but we poured it in anyway, and when it baked, it soaked up the extra sugar&flour. Highly Recommended recipe.

Simple, delicious and perfect. It allows the blackberries to shine as they should.

This recipe was very simple, but too tart for my taste -- needed more sugar.

After making this pie for the first time last week, my friends have been calling me and asking if I've made another (which I did :)). I have a deep pie dish, so I added 2 cups of blueberries for a "black-n-blueberry pie." It doesn't seem too 'oozie', and it's really delicious!

This pie recipe was wonderful for its simplicity. Nothing detracted from the blackberry flavor & it came out wonderfully. This pie also cuts very well (doesn't ooze out of the crust). Thanks for a great recipe!

Michelle has a winner at the dessert table in my house with this pie. A good old fashion and shamefully easy recipe. Bake it...you won't be sorry!! Thanks Michelle, from Big Mama's kitchen.

This recipe needed a little more sugar, but other than that, it was excellent! My 88-year-old grandma hadn't had a blackberry pie in years and she said it brought back wonderful memories of her mother making blackberry pies.

I made this pie with my father and I'm 13 years old. My father is a diabetic so we subsituited Nutra Sweet for the white sugar and it still turned out great. We thought it was a bit dry though so you might want to cut back on the flour just a bit. Overall it's very delicious and extremely easy to make!

Being from Australia, I always get my pie recipes off the internet because you Americans sure know how to make good pie. But this one wasn't nearly as good as other berry pies I have had. The texture was very floury and had an overwhelming 'thickened taste'. I also used 1/4 cornflour and 1/4 cup plain flour in place of 1/2 cup plain flour which wouldn't have helped and I had to add in 1 cup cooked apple to fill my pie case - not quite as successful for my 4th of July celebrations as I would have liked. Although served with thickened sweet fresh cream and it makes things taste a whole lot better!! Kat Thomas - Melbourne Australia

This recipe was great; I would not change a thing. This was the first fruit pie I have ever made and everyone loved it! Filling was just right - not too runny and not too gelatinous. I used some fresh and some frozen berries. I WILL make this again. Thanks Michelle!

Wow! I am NOT a chef, in the least. Yet I followed this recipe precisely and ended up with three scrumptious homemade blackberry pies! This is the first year that our blackberry tree (not a bush; a tree!) in our backyard produced edible fruit! Of course, I was raised in the deep south and enjoyed blackberry-bush cobbler on many occasions. I spent 3 hours harvesting 12 cups of ripe blackberries from the tree; they're smaller than a regular bush blackberry. Then I searched the Internet and found this recipe (I needed a simple recipe right away). Michelle is right; this recipe will never let you down! The only thing I had trouble with was laying down the top pie crust without tearing it up; I should've left it in the refrigerator/freezer until right before I needed it, instead of letting it lay on the counter for several minutes ahead of time. Thanks, Michelle, for that yummy recipe. And yes, the vanilla ice cream to top the warm pie with is most essential. Yum-yum! Jimbob
