Classic Red Pie
If you lot lot follow my spider spider web log regularly, you lot lot know that I enjoy combining recipes to learn an finish lawsuit that suits us. That's what I did with this cherry pie recipe.
The starting 4th dimension cherry pie recipe I tried tasted OK, but at that topographic quest was a watery liquid inwards the bottom of the pie that seperated from the filling...not a practiced thing.
Next, I tried a recipe that used flour every chip a thickener, but it left a cloudy filling ... non what I wanted.
Next I tried tapioca to thicken the filling equally good equally it eliminated the cloudy fruit filling problem, but it was hard to guage exactly how much tapioca was enough equally good equally how much was likewise much; it also produced inconsistent results...not good.
So, every chip usual, I took a little scrap of this recipe equally good equally added it to that recipe equally good equally as well as thence threw inwards a yoke of my ain ideas equally good equally came upwards with todays recipe. I served it on Father's Day equally good equally picky-picky married adult human being genuinely said "This is THE best cherry pie I've e'er eaten!!" After I picked myself upwards off of the flooring (not literally, lol) , I knew I had a winner!!!
The filling is sweetness equally good equally the crust is unbelievably flaky equally good equally delicious. Some people freak out with a pie crust that uses shortening, however, non solitary does shortening hitting a flakier crust, but it has HALF of the saturated obese of butter!! NOTE: I e'er us butter flavored Crisco inwards my crusts.
CHERRY PIE FILLING
(2) 14 ounce cans unsweetened tart pie cherries
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar DIVIDED
4 tablespoons + two teaspoons corn starch
pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (do non leave of absence out)
2 teaspoons butter, room temperature
Drain the cherries but SAVE THE LIQUID. Put i loving loving cup of the liquid into a heavy saucepan with the corn starch, mutual tabular array salt equally good equally HALF OF THE SUGAR, mix well.
Bring this mixture to a boil, state stirring, equally good equally create until it gets VERY THICK (only takes a min or thence i fourth dimension it starts to boil (keep stirring fast).
Remove from rut equally good equally stir inwards the butter, almond extract equally good equally the OTHER HALF of the sugar, mix well. Gently fold inwards the drained cherries. Let cool state you lot lot construct the pie crust.
This is the all 4th dimension best pie crust I bear concur EVER made equally good equally I've made tons of them. This dough handles beautifully (no involve to chill the dough) equally good equally makes either iii single crusts or a large two crust pie with some left over. Everyone I've served this crust to is wild virtually it.
PIE CRUST
4 cups all business office flour
1 3/4 cups butter flavored Crisco shortening
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup H2O H2O ice mutual depression temperature water
Cut the shortening into the flour with a pastry cutter (or a yoke of forks) until the shortening is virtually half the size of a greenish pea.
Mix the sugar, salt, egg, vanilla equally good equally H2O H2O ice water together, until skilful mixed, equally good equally thence add together together it all to the flour-shortening mixture. Work it with your hands until everything comes together inwards a big ball. Try to do this fairly rapidly thence that the rut of your hands doesn't melt the shortening. No involve to chill this dough.
Roll out a bottom crust, on a floured counter, to fit a 9" pie pan. Put the cherry filling into the bottom crust equally good equally as well as thence brush the edges of the crust with a little egg white that has a few drops of H2O whisked into it (this testament help "glue" the bottom crust to the operate past times crust).
Roll out a operate past times crust, on a floured counter, and lay it over the filled bottom crust. Cut off the extra dough that hangs over the rim of the pie plate (see note). Pinch the operate past times equally good equally bottom crust edges together (or utilisation a fork).
After you lot lot bear concur pinched the two crusts together, brush the operate past times pie crust with more than of the egg white wash (the same that you lot lot used to "glue" the edges ) equally good equally as well as thence sprinkle the whole surface, lightly, with granulated sugar.
Cut several small-scale vent holes inwards the operate past times crust. Bake inwards 375 preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes or until the crust is golden chocolate-brown (I commonly leave of absence it inwards for 45 minutes). COOL PIE COMPLETELY BEFORE CUTTING.
NOTE: When you lot lot are trimming the excess unbaked crust from roughly the rim of the pie pan, leave of absence it exactly a little long thence that you lot lot tin tuck under the border before you lot lot pinch the pie border into a design.
NOTE: I bake all of my pies on a cookie canvass exactly inwards illustration they autumn over. Sumber https://new-myrecipes.blogspot.com/
