- 1/4 cup ice water for crust
- 4 cups pitted cherries fresh or frozen
- 1 cup granulated sugar for filling
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch for thickening
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for flavor
- 1 egg egg beaten, for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a medium bowl, mix flour and butter until crumbly. Gradually add ice water, mixing until dough forms. Divide dough in half, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
