cherry pickers pie
(1 rating)
Did someone say pie?? Don't mind if I do! There are two pies that I absolutely love, and they are made from scratch, with fresh fruit! Apple & cherry! This is my cherry pie, found this one in the vault as well. Again, another one from gammies kitchen. I have plenty that have been passed down. If you love cherries, you'll enjoy this pie! This one is not meant to be wasted in a "pie in the face" game! Oh it's soo good! The homemade cherry pie filling can be used in other recipes that call for "canned cherry pie filling." I use in several, including my banana split dessert. :)

2In small bowl, mix together egg & vinegar, add to dough and mix in well. Add ice water one tablespoon at a time., & mix in well with hands, continue to add ice water until dough is smooth & a bit sticky. Break dough into 2 & roll into ball, place in plastic wrap & refridgerate fo 30 minutes. Roll out one ball of dough with rolling pin on floured surface, about 1/4" thick. Or to your taste, some people prefer a thicker crust. Place In 9 inch pie pan, do not trim extra dough yet. Leave second ball of dough in refridgerator until done making cherry filling.

Then reduce heat to low, and continue to gently boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add butter, lemon juice & cherries. Continue to stir just until cherries begin to break down. Remove from heat & allow to cool while you prepare the too crust. About 10-15 minutes.

After filling has cooled for 15 minutes, pour into pie pan with crust. Arrange strips of dough on top of pie in a weave pattern. Trim excess dough, and pinch together. Brush eggwash on top of crust & strips, sprinkle granulated sugar over crust. Place pie on cookie sheet and bake in oven at 375 F for 50-60 minutes, crust will be golden brown.
