Pie Crust

Cherry Filling

Topping

Method

Prepare the Pie Crust

  1. 1

    Mix the Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.

  2. 2

    Cut in the Butter

    Add 1 cup of chilled and cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 3

    Add Ice Water

    Gradually add 6 tablespoons of ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.

  4. 4

    Chill the Dough

    Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Prepare the Cherry Filling

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, mix together 4 cups of pitted cherries, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons of cornstarch, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 0.5 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt.

  2. 6

    Let it Sit

    Allow the cherry mixture to sit for about 15 minutes to let the juices release.

Assemble the Pie

  1. 7

    Roll Out the Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out one disc of pie dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Place the rolled dough into the pan.

  2. 8

    Fill with Cherry Mixture

    Pour the cherry filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.

  3. 9

    Create Lattice Topping

    Roll out the second disc of dough and cut it into strips. Arrange the strips over the filling in a lattice pattern.

  4. 10

    Seal the Edges

    Trim excess dough and crimp the edges to seal.

  5. 11

    Brush and Sprinkle

    Brush the lattice with the beaten egg and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar over the top.

Bake the Pie

  1. 12

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 13

    Bake the Pie

    Bake the pie for about 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

  3. 14

    Cool and Serve

    Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to allow the filling to set. Serve with ice cream if desired.
