Sweet Cherry Pie with a Lattice Crust

A cherry pie is the quintessential American dessert, and a lattice crust adds a touch of elegance to its rustic charm. This pie is perfect for summer gatherings and holiday feasts, offering a balance of sweet and tart fruit in every bite.

Ingredients:

❖ 4 cups fresh or frozen cherries (pitted)

❖ 1 cup granulated sugar

❖ 2 tablespoons cornstarch

❖ 1 tablespoon lemon juice

❖ 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

❖ 1 egg (for egg wash)

❖ 1 batch of your favorite pie crust dough

Instructions:

❖ Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

❖ In a large bowl, combine the cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and almond extract. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.

❖ Roll out the bottom crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish.

❖ Pour the cherry mixture into the prepared crust.

❖ Roll out the second portion of dough and cut it into strips. Weave the strips in a lattice pattern over the filling, trimming the excess dough around the edges.

❖ Brush the lattice with a beaten egg to create a golden finish when baked.

❖ Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly. Let cool before slicing.

Pro Tip: Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the perfect finish.
