In a medium bowl, stir together the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. Gently mix in the blackberries. Sprinkle the blackberry mixture evenly over the crust. Crumble remaining dough over the berry layer. Bake in preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until top is slightly brown. Cool completely before cutting.
