Star-Spangled Cherry Pie image

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 Buttery Pie Crust, reserve leftover dough scraps
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 (12-ounce) bags dark sweet, unsweetened frozen cherries
1/3 cup granulated sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Gather the pie crust dough scraps together into a ball flatten. Place between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and roll 1/8 inch thick. With a 2-inch cookie cutter, cut the dough into shapes, rerolling and using the scraps. Set aside.2. Preheat the oven to 400°F. 3. In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice and water. Add the arrowroot powder and stir until well blended. Stir in the vanilla. If the mixture is too thick, add a few drops of water.4. In a large bowl, combine the frozen cherries and the sugar. Add the arrowroot mixture, stirring to coat the cherries. Pour into the prepared pie crust. Arrange the cutouts on top in an attractive pattern.5. Bake 30 minutes if the crust seems overly brown, cover the edges with oil. Return to the oven 10 minutes more, then slide a baking sheet under the pie, reduce the heat to 350°F, and continue baking until the filling begins to bubble, about 30 minutes more. Cool completely on a rack. NOTE: Be careful to use the correct amount of cherries in this recipe. Two 16-oz bags will make the filling too runny, but you could use 1 1/2 16-oz bags if you can't find the 12-oz ones. And if you've never used arrowroot powder before, it has more thickening power than cornstarch and doesn't break down as readily when heated. Arrowroot comes in a much smaller container than cornstarch because it can lose its thickening ability within a few months.EXCHANGES2 Carbohydrate1 1/2 FatNUTRITION FACTSCalories 201 Calories from Fat 62Total Fat 7g Saturated Fat 1gCholesterol 3mgSodium 59mgCarbohydrate 33g Dietary Fiber 2g Sugars 16gProtein 2g
