Number Of Ingredients 12

FOR PIECRUST
2 1/4 cup(s) all purpose flour
1 tablespoon(s) sugar
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
3/4 cup(s) chilled butter, cut into pieces
4 tablespoon(s) ice water
FOR FILLING
4 cup(s) pitted fresh cherries (2 1/2-3 pounds whole cherries)
1/1-1 cup(s) sugar
2 tablespoon(s) cornstarch
FOR GLAZE
1 - large egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • To prepare pie-crust, in food processor fitted with metal blade, pulse flour, sugar, and salt. Add butter; pulse until coarse crumbs form. Add ice water through feed tube, 1 tablespoon at a time; pulse until the dough holds together, 1 minute. Wrap in plastic wrap; chill for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, prepare filling. In a medium saucepan, stir together cherries, sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium high heat, stirring, until the liquid boils and thickens slightly, 5 minutes. Cool.
  • Preheat oven to 425. On a lightly floured surface, roll half the dough into 11 inch circle. Fit into 9 inch pie pan. Trim edges; press with fork against pan edge. Line with foil; fill with pie weights or dried beans.
  • Bake until lightly golden, 10-15 minutes. Remove foil and weights. Transfer to wire rack to cool slightly. Pour filling into crust.
  • Roll remaining dough into a 12 inch circle. Place on top of pie. Trim top crust, leaving 1 inch overhang; reserve trimmings. Roll up overhang to form border.
  • Roll out trimmings. Cut out stems, leaves, and cherries. Brush crust with glaze; add decorations; brush again. Cut steam vents. Bake until crust is browned, 40 minutes. Transfer to rack to cool.
