Homemade cherry pie is such an easy pie recipe and works great with fresh or canned cherries, so you can enjoy cherry pie all year round!

INGREDIENTS

For the filling:

3 cups frozen cherries, thawed and drained;
2/3 cup brown sugar;
¼ cup cornstarch;
1 tbsp lemon juice;
1 tsp vanilla extract.

For the crust:

2 ½ cup flour;
1 ¼ tsp salt;
240 g flour;
½ cup ice cold water.

METHOD

Preheat oven to 190C/375F.
Start with cherry filling. Mix cherries with cornstarch and sugar, then microwave until liquid thickens.
Add lemon juice and vanilla, mix and cool down completely.
For the crust whisk flour and salt together. Add col butter and massage ingredients with your fingers until pastry base gets crumbly.
Pour ice cold water in portions until dough forms and can stick together.
Wrap the dough in plastic and chill in fridge for 30 minutes.
Take 2/3 of the dough and roll into a disk, place into pie mold and cut of the excess forming pie base. Fill pie base with cherries.
Roll out another 1/3 of the pastry and cover the pie. Pinch edges together and make slits on top for the steam to escape from.
Brush the pie with egg wash and sprinkle some sugar on top before baking for 30 minutes.
