Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups
- Granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup (1 stick), cold and cut into small pieces
- Ice water
- 3-4 tablespoons
- Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon
- Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon
- Rainier cherries
- 2 cups, pitted and halved
- Egg
- 1, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and use your fingers to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, stirring until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, combine the pitted and halved Rainier cherries, cornstarch, remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, and lemon juice. Mix well to coat the cherries.
- Arrange the cherry mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the cherries, pleating as necessary to create a beautiful rustic look.
- Brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle with a little extra sugar for a lovely finish.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cherries are bubbling. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Tips
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cherry filling.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful contrast.
- Feel free to substitute Rainier cherries with other stone fruits like peaches or plums, adjusting the sugar accordingly.
