Ingredients
8 Servings
- 15 g butter
- 900 g cherries
- 30 g cornstarch
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 pie crust
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 200 g sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well to coat the cherries evenly.
Step 3
Line a pie dish with one of the pie crusts, pressing it gently into the dish.
Step 4
Pour the cherry mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly. Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
Step 5
Cover the pie with the second pie crust. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Step 6
Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to give it a golden, shiny finish.
Step 7
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Step 8
Allow the pie to cool completely before serving to let the filling set.
