Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, gently combine the yellow cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Ensure the cherries are well coated without mashing them.
- Roll out the pie crust on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Carefully place the crust into the tart pan, trimming any excess dough that hangs over the edges.
- Pour the cherry mixture into the prepared tart crust, spreading it evenly to ensure even baking.
- Fold the edges of the crust over the cherries, creating a rustic, freeform border that allows the beautiful cherries to peek through.
- Brush the exposed crust with the beaten egg to give it a lovely golden finish during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cherries are bubbling and fragrant.
- Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Before serving, dust the top with powdered sugar for an elegant touch.
- Slice into wedges and enjoy this delightful treat, either warm or at room temperature.
Tips
