Ingredients

Scale

Never Fail Pie Crust

  • 4 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 3/4 cups Shortening
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tablespoon Vinegar
  • 1/2 cup Ice Cold Water

Sweet Bing Cherry Pie Filling 

  • 5 cups Bing Cherries, pitted and halved
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 3 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Almond Extract
  • 4 tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons Butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
  • 1 Egg with 1 tablespoon Water for Egg Wash

Instructions

  • Position the rack in lower third of oven and preheat to 425• F. Combine the cherries, sugar, lemon juice, almond extract, and cornstarch. Let sit for 30 minutes while you make the pie crusts.
  • Mix together flour, shortening, salt and sugar with a pastry blender or in the food processor until crumbly. Mix together egg, vinegar, and water. Add liquid to flour mixture. Form into two balls and wrap each ball in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Flour work surface with plenty of flour. Using a 9-inch pie pan (or 3 - 5-inch mini pie pans), roll the dough to 2 or 3 inches beyond the diameter of your pie pan. With the rolling pin, start from the edge of the dough and roll onto the rolling pin. Unroll it directly onto your pie pan. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes.
  • Pour the cherry pie filling into the dough filled pie pan. Dot with the small cubes of chilled butter.
  • Add more flour to the work surface and roll out the second ball of dough. Using a fluted pastry cutter (a knife will work as well), cut strips for the top of the pie. Weave the strips in and out to make a beautiful lattice. Trim both the bottom and top crust to a 1/2 inch overhang. Crimp the edges to seal.
  • Brush the lattice crust with the egg wash. Sprinkle the lattice with coarse sugar.
  • Place pie on rimmed baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375• F and bake for an additional 35-40 minutes or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
  • Cool completely on a wire rack. Let sit for at least 4 hours until the filling has congealed.

Notes

  • This recipe makes one - 9-inch pie or 3 - 5-inch pies.
