Cherry Pie | Cookies & Cups
To make this easy and delicious cherry pie recipe, you will need to prepare the cherry pie filling and homemade pie dough. The cherry pie filling is made by simmering fresh or frozen cherries with water, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch on the stovetop for 10 minutes. The homemade pie dough is made with pantry staples and is buttery and flaky.
To assemble the pie, roll out the pie dough and press it into a pie plate. Add the cherry pie filling and top it with cubes of butter. Place the top crust over the filling, either as a lattice or solid crust, and brush it with an egg wash for a golden finish. Sprinkle coarse sugar over the top crust before baking.
Bake the cherry pie at 375ºF for 50-55 minutes, until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown. Allow the pie to cool for at least 4 hours before slicing to ensure it sets properly.
This cherry pie is perfect for any season and can be made ahead and frozen for later enjoyment. Serve it with a scoop of homemade ice cream for a delicious summer dessert. Enjoy!
