Here it is! Taste Recipes<\/em>\u2019s best homemade cherry pie. What makes it the best, though? Every aspect is homemade, from the thick, fresh, almond-scented cherry filling to the flaky double-crust pie with a quintessential woven lattice top. Seriously, the hardest part about our homemade cherry pie recipe is waiting for it to cool. Cherry pie desserts<\/a> abound, but nothing beats this down-home classic.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 425\u00b0F. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar and cornstarch, then gradually stir in the cherry juice blend until the mixture is smooth. Bring the mixture to a boil, and cook and stir until it\u2019s thickened, about two minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat.<\/p>\n Add in the cherries, cinnamon, nutmeg and almond extract and stir to combine.<\/p>\n In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Cut in the shortening until the mixture is crumbly. Gradually add the cold water 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing the mixture with a fork until a ball forms. You may not need all the cold water.<\/p>\n Divide the pie dough in half, making one half slightly larger than the other. Form the two portions into balls.<\/p>\n On a lightly floured surface, roll out the larger pie dough ball to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Transfer the pie dough to the plate and trim it so it\u2019s even with the edge. Pour in the cherry pie filling.<\/p>\n Roll out the remaining pie dough and make a lattice pie crust<\/a>. Seal and flute the edge, then brush with an egg wash, if desired.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip: <\/em>Using a pastry cutter or pizza cutter, cut the pie dough into 1\/2-inch-long strips. Arrange half the strips on top of the pie filling so they\u2019re parallel to each other, leaving a little room in between the pie strips. Fold back every other pie strip, then place one pie strip perpendicular. Fold the pie strips back over the perpendicular strip. Repeat this process, alternating the strips as you go. If making a lattice pie crust seems like a bit too much work, feel free to cover the top with rolled-out pie dough, adding slits so steam can escape. Or try a different (and much easier) decorative pie crust<\/a>.<\/p>\n Bake the cherry pie for 10 minutes. Without opening the oven door, reduce the heat to 375\u00b0. Bake until the pie crust is golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool the cherry pie on a wire rack.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Whenever I bake a fruit pie, I place a sheet tray on the rack underneath the one that the pie is on, just in case the fruit filling starts bubbling over. It\u2019s much easier to clean a sheet tray than the bottom of an oven!<\/p>\n Store homemade cherry pie in the fridge for up to one week. Make sure the pie is covered tightly, or store pie slices in an airtight container. If you’re planning to finish the pie quickly, cherry pie can be stored, covered, on the countertop for up to two days.<\/p>\n Yes, you can freeze a baked homemade cherry pie. Once the pie has cooled completely to room temperature, wrap it tightly in two layers of storage wrap, followed by a layer of aluminum foil. This will better protect the pie from freezer burn, which can make the crust soggy and the filling runny. Store cherry pie in the freezer for up to eight months and thaw it overnight in the fridge before enjoying it.<\/p>\n Yes, you can make homemade cherry pie ahead of time. Either fully assemble and bake the pie the day before serving, or make the pie dough and homemade cherry pie filling<\/a> a few days before assembly, storing the two separately in the fridge.<\/p>\n The best types of cherries<\/a> to use for homemade cherry pie are sour cherries. These tart stone fruits will provide the homemade cherry pie filling with a light sourness. Sweet cherries are fine if that\u2019s all you have on hand, but consider omitting some of the sugar, or your cherry pie will be way too sweet.<\/p>\n The easiest and fastest way to pit cherries is with a cherry pitter. This little tool (which also works with olives!) grips the cherry and pierces a rod through the center, pushing the pit out. It leaves the cherry intact, too!<\/p>\n There are a few other effective ways to pit cherries<\/a> without a pitter. Reusable straws and long piping tips are great tools to push right through the cherry\u2019s center to get the pit out. Otherwise, grab a paring knife, cut the cherry in half around the pit (you won\u2019t be able to pierce all the way through, of course), twist the cherry open and pull the pit out.<\/p>\n Serve homemade pie warm (not hot!) from the oven with a scoop of the best vanilla ice cream<\/a> or a cloud of homemade whipped cream<\/a>. The pie is also nice at room temperature, and some people even like it chilled. For after-dinner drink<\/a> pairings, pop open a bottle of vin santo or Brachetto d\u2019Acqui.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Every part of our best homemade cherry pie is made
