Description

A spooky and delicious Jack Skellington Halloween Pie made with berries and flaky crust—perfect for Halloween parties and fall gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • Double recipe for your favorite pie crust (or 2 store-bought crusts)

  • 2 ½ cups blueberries

  • 2 cups blackberries

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ¼ heaped cup cornstarch

  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

  • Coarse or turbinado sugar, for topping


Instructions

  1. Prepare the pie crust
    Roll out one half of the dough and line a 9-inch pie dish. Trim excess edges and place in the fridge.

  2. Mix the filling
    In a large bowl, combine blueberries, blackberries, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Mix gently to coat the berries.

  3. Add the filling
    Pour the berry mixture into the chilled crust. Spread evenly.

  4. Create Jack’s face
    Roll out the second crust. Use a knife or printed stencil to cut out Jack Skellington’s eyes, nose, and stitched smile.

  5. Top and seal
    Carefully place the cut-out crust over the filled pie. Seal and crimp edges. Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes.

  6. Brush and sugar
    Beat the egg and brush it over the top crust. Sprinkle with coarse or turbinado sugar.

  7. Bake the pie
    Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 35–40 minutes, until the crust is golden and filling is bubbling.

  8. Cool completely
    Allow the pie to cool fully to set the filling before slicing.

Notes

Frozen berries are fine—just thaw and drain them first.

If edges brown too quickly, shield them with foil.

Cooling fully is key for clean slices and proper set.
