  • Total Time: 1 hour 40 minutes
  • Yield: Serves approximately 8 slices 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (chilled and cubed)
  • 4–5 tablespoons ice cold water
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 5 cups pitted cherries
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add chilled butter cubes, blending until crumbly. Gradually mix in ice cold water until dough holds together.
  2. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a circle about 12 inches in diameter and transfer it to a pie dish.
  3. Make the filling: Mix cornstarch with water until smooth. Combine cherries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch mixture in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened.
  4. Assemble the pie: Pour cherry filling into the crust, spreading evenly. Optionally top with another layer of dough or create a lattice.
  5. Bake: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake for about 70 minutes or until golden brown.
