4 cups blackberries, rinsed and dried
1/2 apple juice
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups whipped cream (optional)
1 recipe Easy as Pie crust 101
Preheat the oven to 425°F
Roll out pie crust and press into mini tart tins. Prick dough with a fork and bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Cool the crusts on a rack until room temperature.
Measure out 1 cup of the blackberries, choosing the softest ones. Place them in a medium saucepan together with the 1/2 cup apple juice. Cover and bring them to a boil.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water. Set it aside.
When the water and blackberries have come to a boil, lower the heat and simmer, stirring constantly for 3 to 4 minutes or until the blackberries start to burst and the juices begin to thicken. Stirring constantly, add the cornstarch mixture, the sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Simmer for a minute or until the mixture becomes translucent. Immediately remove it from the heat and quickly fold in the remaining 3 cups of blueberries. Chill before spooning the mixture into the baked pie shell. Serve with lemon whipped cream.
