Lattice-Top Blackberry Pie {lattice top pie photo tutorial}

Before I made this Blackberry Pie I’d never made a lattice-top pie. I’d never even made a two crust pie.

I feel ashamed. I call myself Crazy for Crust and I’ve never made a two-crust pie? #shocking

Oh well, now I can check both of those off the list: two crust lattice-top blackberry pie. With a photo step-by-step tutorial!

When I was young, my Aunt and Uncle lived in Washington. They’d come down every August to visit and my aunt would make a two crust blackberry pie. My dad was practically salivating two full weeks beforehand in anticipation. Blackberry is his favorite.

{What’s really unfortunate is he can no longer eat anything with nuts or seeds. So if anyone knows of how to grow a seedless blackberry, email me.}

I’ve been itching to make my first ever two-crust pie for awhile, and I wanted it to be lattice-topped. They’re just so pretty! Then last week blackberries were on sale and I snapped up a bunch and got to work turning my all-butter pie crust into a lattice-topped blackberry pie.

Now, making a lattice-top pie might feel confusing. And I bet if you’ve ever read directions on how to make one your head started to hurt and your eyes crossed. Parallel strips and perpendicular folds and what the what now?

I’m a visual learner. I need to see to understand. (This is ever more apparent now that I have a kid. She still doesn’t get that spelling me a word she can’t pronounce from the other room is not going to help her. I need to see it to read it!)

So, with the understanding that many of you are probably visual learners, I made a step-by-step photo tutorial of how to make a lattice-topped pie.

Aren’t you excited??

Okay, so this is a long post with lots of photos. If you just want the recipe, scroll down. Keep scrolling….keep it up…and there it is at the bottom.

For the rest of you…let’s start making our pie!
