Ingredients:

For the Flaky Pie Covering:

• 2 1/2 cups regular baking flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted margarine, cut into shapes
• 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup ice water

For the Cherry Filling:

• 7 cups pitted sweet cherries (new or frozen, defrosted and depleted)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon almond remove (discretionary)
• 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice

Equipment:

• Food processor or pastry cutter 
• Mixing bowl 
• Rolling pin 
• Pie dish (9-inch diameter) 
• Pastry brush 
• Knife and cutting board 
• Large pot 
• Slotted spoon

Instructions:

1. Make the Outside layer: In your food processor (or utilizing a cake shaper and a bowl), join the flour and salt. Beat a couple of times to join. Pulse a few times to combine. Add the cold butter cubes and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces.
2. Step by step Add Water: With the engine running (or utilizing a fork), gradually shower in ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the batter simply meets up. Be careful not to overmix!
3. Cool the Mixture: Separation the batter down the middle, smooth into circles, and enclose each by cling wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight).
4. Prepare the Filling: In a huge pot, join the cherries, sugar, cornstarch, almond extricate (if utilizing), and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy. This will require around 5-7 minutes. Eliminate from intensity and let cool somewhat while you set up the hull.
5. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
6. Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough to a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to your pie dish. Cautiously move it to your pie dish. Trim the edges, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Spoon the cooled cherry filling into the prepared crust.
7. Create the Lattice Crust: Carry out the second plate of mixture. Cut the batter into strips around 1/2-inch wide. Weave the strips over the filling in a grid design, delicately compressing the finishes onto the edge of the pie hull. Trim any overabundance batter.
8. Egg Wash and Bake: Brush the top hull with a whisked egg wash for a brilliant earthy colored finish. Prepare the pie for 40-45 minutes, or until the outside layer is brilliant brown and the filling is foaming.
9. Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra decadent touch.

Tips:

• Blind Power for an Ideal Edge (Discretionary): went on with pie stacks or dried beans. This will assist with holding the base back from getting wet. Take out the stacks and material paper, for the most part, through baking.
• Cross segment Faultlessness: Make an effort not to stress over totally even strips or an immaculate weave. A natural cross section adds to the appeal of a custom made pie.
• Chill Extras: Additional cherry pie can be kept in the cooler for up to 3 days.
