HOMEMADE CHERRY PIE

To make my Homemade Cherry Pie, you’ll need to go make my pie crust first, up to step three. OR, if you must, buy two crusts for top and bottom of the pie.

Next, the cherry filling. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the cherries, sugar, cornflour, lemon, vanilla, and almond. Bring to the boil, stirring often, and cook until the cherries start breaking down and the mixture has thickened. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool completely.
Line a 9×2-inch pie dish with one crust, and pour in your cherry filling.

Roll out the other half of dough, and using a pastry wheel or sharp knife, cut into strips. Create a lattice top over the filling.
Brush on some egg wash, and sprinkle with sugar. Time to bake!

INSTRUCTIONS
