pie crust

🥗Healthier: whole wheat crust

Whole wheat crust increases fiber content.

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

Wash and pit the cherries.

Combine cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a bowl.

Mix until cherries are well coated.

Roll out half of the pie crust and fit it into a pie dish.

Pour the cherry mixture into the crust, spreading evenly.

Dot the filling with small pieces of butter.

Roll out the second half of the pie crust and place it over the filling.

Seal the edges by crimping with a fork or fingers.

Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Beat the egg and brush it over the crust for a golden finish.

Bake for 45-50 minutes until the crust is golden and filling is bubbling.

Cool for at least 2 hours before serving.
