Classic Ruby Pie
If you lot follow my spider web log regularly, you lot know that I relish combining recipes to instruct an destination effect that suits us. That's what I did amongst this cherry pie recipe.
The starting fourth dimension cherry pie recipe I tried tasted OK, but at that topographic point was a watery liquid inwards the bottom of the pie that seperated from the filling...not a practiced thing.
Next, I tried a recipe that used flour every bit a thickener, but it left a cloudy filling ... non what I wanted.
Next I tried tapioca to thicken the filling as well as it eliminated the cloudy fruit filling problem, but it was difficult to guage simply how much tapioca was plenty as well as how much was likewise much; it also produced inconsistent results...not good.
So, every bit usual, I took a trivial combat of this recipe as well as added it to that recipe as well as and hence threw inwards a yoke of my ain ideas as well as came upwards amongst todays recipe. I served it on Father's Day as well as picky-picky married adult man truly said "This is THE best cherry pie I've ever eaten!!" After I picked myself upwards off of the flooring (not literally, lol) , I knew I had a winner!!!
The filling is sweetness as well as the crust is unbelievably flaky as well as delicious. Some people freak out amongst a pie crust that uses shortening, however, non alone does shortening hit a flakier crust, but it has HALF of the saturated fatty of butter!! NOTE: I ever us butter flavored Crisco inwards my crusts.
CHERRY PIE FILLING
(2) xiv ounce cans unsweetened tart pie cherries
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar DIVIDED
4 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons corn starch
pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (do non exit out)
2 teaspoons butter, room temperature
Drain the cherries but SAVE THE LIQUID. Put i loving cup of the liquid into a heavy saucepan amongst the corn starch, common salt as well as HALF OF THE SUGAR, mix well.
Bring this mixture to a boil, land stirring, as well as create until it gets VERY THICK (only takes a infinitesimal or hence i time it starts to boil (keep stirring fast).
Remove from rut as well as stir inwards the butter, almond extract as well as the OTHER HALF of the sugar, mix well. Gently crease inwards the drained cherries. Let cool land you lot brand the pie crust.
This is the all fourth dimension best pie crust I conduct hold EVER made as well as I've made tons of them. This dough handles beautifully (no involve to chill the dough) as well as makes either iii unmarried crusts or a large 2 crust pie amongst some left over. Everyone I've served this crust to is wild most it.
PIE CRUST
4 cups all role flour
1 3/4 cups butter flavored Crisco shortening
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup H2O ice mutual depression temperature water
Cut the shortening into the flour amongst a pastry cutter (or a yoke of forks) until the shortening is most one-half the size of a greenish pea.
Mix the sugar, salt, egg, vanilla as well as H2O ice water together, until good mixed, as well as hence add together it all to the flour-shortening mixture. Work it amongst your hands until everything comes together inwards a big ball. Try to do this fairly speedily hence that the rut of your hands doesn't melt the shortening. No involve to chill this dough.
Roll out a bottom crust, on a floured counter, to fit a 9" pie pan. Put the cherry filling into the bottom crust as well as and hence brush the edges of the crust amongst a trivial egg white that has a few drops of H2O whisked into it (this volition assist "glue" the bottom crust to the transcend crust).
Roll out a transcend crust, on a floured counter, and lay it over the filled bottom crust. Cut off the extra dough that hangs over the rim of the pie plate (see note). Pinch the transcend as well as bottom crust edges together (or utilisation a fork).
After you lot conduct hold pinched the 2 crusts together, brush the transcend pie crust amongst to a greater extent than of the egg white launder (the same that you lot used to "glue" the edges ) as well as and hence sprinkle the whole surface, lightly, amongst granulated sugar.
Cut several modest vent holes inwards the transcend crust. Bake inwards 375 preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes or until the crust is golden chocolate-brown (I unremarkably exit it inwards for 45 minutes). COOL PIE COMPLETELY BEFORE CUTTING.
NOTE: When you lot are trimming the excess unbaked crust from around the rim of the pie pan, exit it simply a trivial long hence that you lot tin tuck nether the border earlier you lot pinch the pie border into a design.
NOTE: I bake all of my pies on a cookie canvass simply inwards instance they fall over.
