Equipment
Ingredients
For The Pie Crust:
- 2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tbsp Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 3/4 cup Unsalted Butter Cold And Cubed
- 1/4-1/2 cup Ice-Cold Water
For The Cherry Filling:
- 4 cup Cherries Pitted, Fresh Or Frozen
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 3 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp Almond Extract (Optional, For A Hint Of Flavor)
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Instructions
For the Pie Crust:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
- Using a pastry blender or fork, cut the cold cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice-cold water, a few tablespoons at a time, and mix with a fork until the dough comes together.
- Gather the dough into a ball, divide it into two equal portions, and shape them into disks.
- Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before rolling out.
For the Cherry Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the pitted cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, almond extract (if using), and lemon juice.
- Stir gently until the cherries are well coated with the sugar and cornstarch mixture.
Assembling the Pie:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- On a floured surface, roll out one disk of pie dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Carefully transfer the dough to the pie dish and gently press it into the bottom and sides.
- Pour the cherry filling into the pie crust.
- Roll out the second disk of pie dough and cover the cherry filling. Trim the edges and crimp the edges of the crust using your fingers or a fork.
- Cut a few slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape while baking.
- Bake the Cherry Pie for about 45-50 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and the filling bubbles.
- Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before serving to set the filling.
