Blackberry Crostata
Report
While very grown-up, this dessert is still simple, slightly fancy (anything with crostata in the name sounds fancy, you know), and is probably healthier than most of the desserts I make, thanks to the aforementioned plant-y things in the filling. The honey and cinnamon are perfect and a little unexpected with the tart blackberries. I think you'll love this crostata, grown up or not.

Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1-1/2 cup shortening butter works, but not as well
- 3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Pinch of white sugar
- 1 large egg beaten
- 5 tablespoons cold water
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
For the filling:
- 12 ounces blackberries
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons corn starch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Dump the shortening, flour, salt, and sugar into a large bowl and work it together with a pastry cutter until you have coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the egg, water, and vinegar and stir until just combined.
- Separate into 2 balls of dough and place in freezer bags.
- Place each bag in the freezer. You'll only need one ball of dough for this pie, the second should keep in the freezer for 6 months or more.
- Remove one ball of dough after 20 minutes in the freezer and roll it out on a floured surface into a 10 inch circle.
- Transfer dough to a parchment lined baking sheet.
- To make the filling, in a large bowl, combine the honey, lemon juice, cornstarch, and cinnamon and stir to combine.
- Add the blackberries and toss to coat them in the honey mixture.
- Place the blackberries in the center of the dough in a mound.
- Work your way around the dough and fold the edges over onto the blackberries, every inch or so.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 25 - 30 minutes or until the berries are bubbling and the crust is turning golden.
- Let cool before slicing and serving.
Notes
- This dough will make enough for 2 crusts. Freeze the extra to use at another time. This is the best pie crust I've ever had (and I constantly get compliments on it), so having an extra batch in your freezer is not a bad thing!
