Pie Crust

Cherry Pie Filling

Method

Pie Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Pie Dough

    In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Divide dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Apple Pie Assembly

  1. 2

    Prepare the Apple Filling

    In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss until apples are evenly coated.

  2. 3

    Assemble the Apple Pie

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out one dough disc on a floured surface to fit your pie pan. Place in the pan and fill with apple mixture. Roll out the second disc, place over the filling, and seal the edges. Cut slits in the top for steam to escape.

  3. 4

    Bake the Apple Pie

    Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.

Cherry Pie Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare the Cherry Filling

    In a large bowl, combine cherries, sugar, cornstarch, almond extract, and lemon juice. Toss until the cherries are evenly coated.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Cherry Pie

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out one dough disc to fit your pie pan. Fill with cherry mixture. Roll out the second disc, place over the filling, and seal the edges. Cut slits in the top.

  3. 7

    Bake the Cherry Pie

    Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, until the cherries are bubbling and the crust is golden.
