- 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
- ½ tsp. ground cinnamon optional
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice + lemon/orange zest (optional)
- 1 tbsp. flour
- 1 tbsp. corn starch
- 2 tbsp. sliced almonds
Preheat oven to 190°C (375F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Bring out pastry to room temperature (per package instructions).
Wash, pit and halve the cherries. Place cherries, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, lemon juice, cornstarch, and flour in a large mixing bowl and stir all ingredients until combined.
Roll out pie pastry onto baking sheet. Place cherry filling in the center, leaving a 2" (5cm) border around the edge.
Fold the edges of the pastry to overlap the fruit filling. Top with sliced almonds.
Brush the pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with brown sugar.
Bake for 45-50 minutes (or per pastry package instructions) until pastry is cooked through and golden brown.
Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes, then slice and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
