Crust
Method
Step 1
In a large bowl place the flour, baking powder and salt and mix with a fork.
Step 2
Toss the butter until covered with flour then use a pastry cutter or a fork to cut the butter into the flour until it is the size of a pea.
Step 3
Add the apple cider vinegar and half of the cold water, then use a rubber spatula to incorporate the water into the flour, by tossing the flour and butter with the spatula. If needed, add more water 2 tablespoons at a time until the flour mixture holds together when pinched.
Step 4
Transfer the dough to a clean work surface and use your hands to pinch it all together into a ball (do not knead the dough). Wrap the dough tightly in a plastic wrap then press it into a disk and refrigerate for at least one hour (preferably overnight).
Filling
Step 1
In a medium bowl, use a fork to mix the sugar and cornstarch. Set a side.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the blackberries, chopped mint, lemon juice and zest, and the sugar-cornstarch mixture. Use a large spatula to incorporate all of the ingredients.
Step 1
Remove dough from the refrigerator and cut it into 2 even pieces. Place one piece back in the refrigerator.
Step 2
Roll the dough half into a 12 inch circle. Carefully line a 9 inch pie pan with the dough. Trim any access dough.
Step 3
Fill the pie crust with the black berry filling. Roll out the second half of dough and cover the pie. Using a knife, cut a slit in the top to allow steam to escape while cooking. Chill for about 45 minutes.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 400º F. Remove pie from the refrigerator and brush with beaten egg. Place the pie on top of a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 45-55 minutes on the lowest oven rack.
Step 5
When done (the crust should be golden and the filling should be bubbling), remove from the oven and allow to cool for two hours before slicing.
