   Whisk ¼ cup water and cornstarch together in a medium saucepan until smooth; stir in blackberries, white sugar, and ½ cup brown sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat; stir until filling thickens, about 2 minutes. Off heat, stir in vanilla extract. Pour filling into a 9x13-inch baking dish; set aside.

   Combine cornflakes, flour, oats, ⅓ cup brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in ¼ cup butter with a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; stir in 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until crust begins to hold together. Sprinkle crust over filling; drizzle with ¼ cup melted butter.
