Lattice-Top Blackberry Pie

Ingredients:

• Pastry dough
• 6 cups blackberries (1 3/4 lb)
• 1 to 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon quick-cooking tapioca
• 1 egg white, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon sanding (coarse) or granulated sugar

Method

1. Make pastry dough. Place a baking sheet in lower third of oven and preheat to 400°F. 
2. Toss together berries, granulated sugar to taste, cornstarch, butter, lemon juice, water, and tapioca. 
3. Let stand, tossing occasionally, 20 minutes. Roll out 1 piece of dough into a 14-inch round and fit into a 9-inch pie plate (4-cup capacity). Trim edge, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. 
4. Chill shell while rolling out top. Roll out remaining piece of dough into a roughly 16- by 11-inch rectangle. 
5. Cut crosswise into 11 (1 1/4-inch-wide) strips with a fluted pastry wheel or a knife. Stir berry mixture, then spoon evenly into shell. 
6. Arrange strips in a tight lattice pattern on top of filling and trim strips close to edge of pan. Roll up and crimp edge. 
7. Brush top and edge with egg white and sprinkle all over with sugar. 
8. Bake on hot baking sheet until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling, 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes. (Check pie after 45 minutes: If edge of crust is browning too quickly, cover edge with foil or a pie crust shield and continue baking.) 
9. Cool completely on a rack before serving.
