Ingredients
Crust
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter chilled and diced
4 - 8 tbsp ice water
Filling
2 pounds unpitted sweet cherries or 5 cups pitted
2/3 cup granulated sugar
3 to 4 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp almond extract
1 tbsp unsalted butter cut into small cubes
egg wash 1 large egg + 1 tablespoon water, mix well
vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Crust
- In a large bowl, add all-purpose flour and salt, then mix well.
- Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add into the bowl. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add ice water gradually to form moist clumps (best to add 1 tablespoon at a time).
- Transfer dough mixture onto a dry board sprinkled with flour. Use the heel of your hand and smear the dough little by little across the board.
- Make the dough into a ball, and divide in half. Form each into a ball, and then flatten into rounds. Wrap separately in plastic or place in zip-lock bags.
- Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
- Flour a work surface. Remove one round from fridge and roll it out to about 12 inches across using a rolling pin.
- Butter the pie plate and transfer the pie dough to the plate, pressing the bottom and edges into place.
Filling
- Add pitted cherries to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook for a few minutes until you see juice coming out of cherries.
- Add sugar and cornstarch to the saucepan and stir. Mix well.
- Add lemon juice, vanilla extract and almond extract. Stir and cook until thickened.
- Taste test and add more sugar or lemon juice according to your preference.
- Remove from the heat and let cool. If the filling is too thick, you can add more water, if it’s too thin, add more cornstarch.
Baking
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Add cherry filling.
- For another rolled out pie dough, cut small hearts using a heart shaped cookie cutter (see video).
- Seal and trim the edges and bake for 20 minutes uncovered, and another 15 to 20 minutes covered with aluminum foil.
- Serve with ice cream and enjoy!
