Description
A delicious and classic Oregon’s Marionberry Pie recipe featuring a flaky crust and a sweet, tangy filling made from fresh marionberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes)
- 6–8 tbsp ice water
- 5 cups fresh or frozen marionberries (or blackberries if unavailable)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup cornstarch (or ⅓ cup flour for thicker filling)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp butter, cut into small cubes
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp coarse sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, salt, and sugar.
- Cut in butter with a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, mixing just until dough holds together.
- Divide into 2 discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- In a large bowl, combine marionberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla.
- Stir gently to coat and let sit for 10–15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Roll out one disc of dough and fit into a 9-inch pie dish.
- Pour berry mixture into crust and dot with butter.
- Roll out second disc and cut into strips for a lattice top (or place whole and cut slits).
- Seal edges and crimp decoratively.
- Brush crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 175°C (350°F) and bake an additional 30–40 minutes until filling is bubbly and crust is golden.
- If crust browns too quickly, cover edges with foil.
- Allow pie to cool at least 2 hours before slicing to let filling set.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- For a thicker filling, use ⅓ cup of flour instead of cornstarch.
- Make sure the butter is cold for a flaky crust.
- Let the pie cool completely to ensure the filling sets properly.
