Ingredients

8 cups fresh blackberries, blueberries, or raspberries or a combination (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 1/4 cups plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 12 pieces
1 (9-1/2-inch) frozen deep-dish pie crust, thawed
Vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional; see recipe intro)

Directions

1

Heat the oven to 375 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
2

Line a baking sheet with paper towels; set aside.
3

Rinse the berries and place them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to dry slightly.
4

Transfer the berries to a large bowl, add 1 1/4 cups of the sugar, the flour, and the salt, and stir gently to combine.
5

Place a 9-1/2-inch deep-dish pie plate on a foil-lined baking sheet.
6

Pour the berry mixture into the pie plate and spread into an even layer.
7

Distribute the butter pieces evenly over the top.
8

Tear the thawed crust into large pieces and place over the berries, leaving some space between the pieces so that the berries are visible; reserve any leftover crust for another use.
9

Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.
10

Bake until the berries are bubbling and the crust is golden brown, about 40 to 45 minutes.
11

Place on a wire rack and let cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
12

Serve with vanilla ice cream, if so desired.
