Directions
I’m baking up a delicious cherry pie today with a buttery flaky crust. I like to use the Dr. Oetker pie crust because it gives me a perfect crust every time. All you need is cold butter and water along with a rolling pin and you will be in business.
One of my favorite summer desserts is cherry pie, I guess its to do with the fact that cherries are in the height of the season now and go so good in a pie.
My Galette cherry pie is very similar to this recipe in many ways, however the crusts are just different. I do not recommend using frozen cherries for this recipe as they hold way to much water and then you will end up with a watery pie.
Now I don’t know about you, but I was never a fan of the store bought cherry pie. Once I started making my own pies at home, I knew right away what i have been missing all along.
This pie has just the right amount of butter crust, cherries, lemon juice, egg, vanilla extract and powdered sugar to make anyone’s mouth water. I hope you give it a try, because it’s something special to be able to say I made this myself, enjoy!
It’s ready to go into the oven, cant hardly wait!!
Note: You can serve this along with ice cream or whip cream.
