Ingredients

  • 230 g ready-rolled pie crust
  • 550 g cherries pitted and halved (4 cups)
  • 100 g brown sugar + extra for sprinkling (½ cup)
  • ½ tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 190°C (375F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Bring out pastry to room temperature (per package instructions).
