Making a Cherry Pie on a Friday Afternoon
Now that summer is around the corner, I felt safe using some of the cherries in my freezer. These are the cherries I picked last summer; you can find my recipe on that post. I now only have one bag left in my freezer, but since I'll be picking more in a little over a month, I'm ok with that.
I decided to make a lattice top crust. First roll out the crust, then cut into strips. |
Then lay the strips over the pie, leaving evenly spaced gaps between. |
Next lay a second set of strips over the pie running the opposite directions. Gently lift up alternating strips of dough to form the lattice pattern. |
There... aren't they pretty? |
Place a pie protector over the edges and pop it in the oven |
After the pie is in the oven, roll out the scraps, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. |
Place on a baking sheet and bake for 5-10 minutes until golden and crisp- they are so yummy! |
There it is... the cherry pie we baked today...mmmm. |
