Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 700 grams Frozen cherries
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 2 pieces (top and bottom) Premade low-fat pie crust
- 1 piece Egg white
- 1 teaspoon Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a medium saucepan, combine the frozen cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and water.
Cook the cherry mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently until the cherries release their juices and the mixture thickens (about 8-10 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Roll out the bottom pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any overhang, leaving about 1 inch around the edges.
Pour the cooled cherry filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the cherry filling. You can make a lattice crust if desired or simply lay it over and cut a few slits in the center to allow steam to escape.
Seal and crimp the edges of the crusts together. Trim any excess dough.
Lightly beat the egg white and brush it over the top crust to give it a golden color during baking. Sprinkle coarse sugar on top if desired.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature before slicing. This will help the filling set properly.
Serve at room temperature or slightly warmed. Enjoy your delicious and guilt-free cherry pie!
