Course Dessert
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Servings 12

Ingredients

Filling

  • - 10 cups olallieberries or other blackberries
  • - 3/4 cup sugar
  • - 1/3 cup flour
  • - 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • - Zest of 1 lemon
  • - 4 tablespoons butter softened

Topping

  • - 1 pie dough link below

Egg Wash:

  • - 1 egg
  • - 1 tablespoon heavy cream or half and half

Instructions

  • Mix all the filling ingredients together except for the butter. Stir until just barely combined.
  • Place the mixture in a 9x13-inch pan. Dot with butter.
  • Roll the pie dough out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out stars or other shapes with a cookie cutter, or leave it whole. Place on top of the crisp.
  • Whisk together the egg and heavy cream. Brush a thin, even layer over the pie dough on top. Sprinkle sugar over the crust.
  • Bake the crisp at 350°F for about 1 hour, or until bubbling in the middle and golden on top (it may take slightly longer if you used frozen berries). Let it sit for about 30 minutes before serving.
