Mulberry Pie is a classic old-fashioned dessert made with juicy fresh mulberries, balanced sweetness, and a flaky homemade crust. This summer pie is rich, slightly tart, and perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh mulberries, washed and stems removed
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt (for crust)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (for crust)
  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 6–8 tablespoons ice water
  • 1 egg (optional, for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, gently toss mulberries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Let sit for 10–15 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt for the crust. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add ice water gradually and mix just until dough forms. Divide into two disks, wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  5. Roll out one dough disk and place into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim edges.
  6. Pour mulberry filling evenly into the crust.
  7. Roll out second dough disk and place over filling. Cut slits or create a lattice top. Crimp edges to seal.
  8. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
  9. Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes, then reduce temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 30–35 minutes until crust is golden and filling bubbles.
  10. Cool for at least 2–3 hours before slicing to allow filling to set.

Notes

  • Use fresh mulberries for best flavor, but frozen can work if thawed and drained well.
  • Keep butter cold when making crust to ensure flakiness.
  • Allow pie to cool completely before slicing to prevent runny filling.
  • If crust browns too quickly, cover edges with foil.
  • Store covered at room temperature for 1 day or refrigerate up to 4 days.
