Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces pre-made pie crusts
- 21 ounces cherry pie filling
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the cherry pie filling into the crust, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the filling, and dot the top with small pieces of the unsalted butter.
Roll out the second pie crust and gently lay it over the filling. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal. If you'd like, cut small slits or decorative shapes into the crust to allow steam to escape. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash, then brush it over the top crust for a golden finish.
Bake the pie on the center rack for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let it cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy your holiday cherry pie!
