Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 900 grams fresh or frozen sour cherries
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 30 grams cornstarch
- 15 milliliters lemon juice
- 5 milliliters vanilla extract
- 115 grams unsalted butter (cold)
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 60 grams rolled oats
- 75 grams light brown sugar
- 2 grams ground cinnamon
- 2 grams salt
- 1 piece pre-made or homemade pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Place the oven rack in the center position.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the cherries are well-coated. Set aside to allow the mixture to macerate for about 10 minutes.
Unroll or prepare your pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess edges and crimp the edges for decoration. Place the pie crust in the refrigerator while you prepare the crumble topping.
For the crumble topping, cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes. In another bowl, mix together the flour, rolled oats, light brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to incorporate the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator and pour the cherry mixture evenly into the crust.
Sprinkle the prepared crumble topping evenly over the cherries, ensuring full coverage.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips, then bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crumble topping is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 2 hours to set before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate dessert experience.
