Feast Your Eyes on This!

Look at this beauty just begging to be devoured! Feast your eyes on the juicy, sweet, and oh-so-tart cherry pie, perfect for any occasion—whether it’s a family gathering, picnic, or just a Tuesday afternoon when you need some extra joy in your life.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Gather these delicious ingredients, and get ready to embark on a cherry-filled journey:

2 cups fresh or frozen cherries (pitted)
1 cup sugar (because we love a little sweetness)
2 tablespoons cornstarch (for that perfect thick filling)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (a magical ingredient)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (a zesty twist!)
1 tablespoon butter (because butter makes everything better)
1 package of pie crusts (store-bought… we won’t tell anyone!)
1 egg (to brush on top for that golden finish)

Instructions to Pie Perfection

Now, let’s roll up our sleeves and get to baking! Follow these simple steps for cherry pie happiness:

First, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This is where the magic begins!
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherries, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix it well and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Let those flavors mingle—like old friends at a reunion.
Grab your pie crust and lay one half into a pie dish, being careful to avoid the culinary casualties. Pour that luscious cherry mixture into the crust. Dot it with butter—don’t be shy!
Cover the pie with the second crust, crimping the edges like you mean it! Don’t forget to cut a few slits in the top to let the steam escape. It’s a pie, not a pressure cooker!
Brush the top with a beaten egg for that golden-brown finish. Sprinkle a little sugar on top for crunch!
Bake in the preheated oven for about 45–50 minutes, or until the crust is beautifully golden and the filling is bubbling. Your kitchen will smell divine, and you’ll be counting down the minutes.
Once done, let it cool for a bit, and then slice it up. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for that extra something special!

And voila! You’ve mastered the art of cherry pie making. Enjoy every last bite, preferably while wearing your favorite apron and a giant smile!
