Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

Grate cold butter into the flour, add a pinch of salt, and very cold water. Knead the dough, divide it into two parts (one slightly larger than the other), and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Roll out the larger portion and place it into a baking dish.

Step 2

Prepare the Filling

Combine cherries, sugar, cornstarch, and a bit of cinnamon. Mix well and spread it over the dough in the baking dish.

Step 3

Assemble and Bake

Roll out the second portion of the dough into a thin layer. Use a cookie cutter to cut out heart shapes.
Brush the dough with beaten egg and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 40-45 minutes.
Enjoy your delicious cherry pie! Bon appétit!

Variations

We understand the need for dietary variations, so here are some adjustments to make this delightful cherry pie both gluten-free and vegan. 🌱

Gluten-Free Version: Substitute the all-purpose flour with your favorite gluten-free flour mix. Ensure the mix contains a binder like xanthan gum to maintain the dough’s elasticity. 🍞

Vegan Version: Replace the butter with a plant-based alternative like coconut oil or vegan butter. Instead of brushing the dough with an egg, use a plant-based milk like almond or soy. This will give your crust a beautiful golden finish. 🥥🥛

Both the gluten-free and vegan versions maintain the deliciousness of the original recipe, so everyone can enjoy a slice! 🎉

Faq

  • Why is my pie crust not flaky?

    Ensure your butter is extremely cold. Grating it directly from the fridge into the flour helps create a flaky texture.

  • Can I use frozen cherries?

    Yes, you can! Just make sure to thaw and drain them well before using to prevent excess moisture.

  • How can I avoid a soggy bottom crust?

    Try blind baking your bottom crust for 10 minutes before adding the filling. This sets the crust and prevents it from becoming soggy.

  • Is it okay to use a food processor to make the dough?

    Yes, it’s fine to use a food processor to combine the initial ingredients. Just be cautious not to over-process the dough.

  • Can I make the dough in advance?

    Absolutely! The dough can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

  • How can I make my pie crust more golden?

    If you want a richer color, brush the crust with a mixture of egg yolk and a little water before baking.
