Honey Blackberry Sage Pie Recipe

Though this honey blackberry sage pie recipe may change that, blackberries aren't usually the first fruit to go into a pie. Katie Rosenhouse, recipe developer and pastry chef, says, "I usually make a triple berry pie or a blackberry-pear pie, but this is a luxurious dessert with blackberries alone.

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus additional for rolling dough 2 tablespoons granulated sugar ½ teaspoon kosher salt 1 cup salted butter, frozen ⅓ to ½ cup cold water ¼ cup fresh sage leaves, finely chopped 8 cups fresh or frozen blackberries ¼ cup minute tapioca 1 cup granulated sugar ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon ¼ cup honey 3 tablespoons lemon juice 2 tablespoons salted butter 1 large egg
