Ingredients
cherries
5 cups (pitted and halved)
lime
1 (zested and juiced)
flour
1 tablespoon (none)
sugar
1/4 cup (none)
egg
1 (beaten for egg wash)
sugar
1 tablespoon (for topping)
prepared all butter pie crusts
15 ounces (2 crusts)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pitted and halved cherries, lime zest and juice, flour, and 1/4 cup of sugar. Gently toss to coat the cherries evenly in the mixture.
3
Roll out one of your prepared pie crusts and line a 9-inch pie dish with it, ensuring it covers the edges well. Pour the cherry filling into the lined pie crust, distributing it evenly.
4
Carefully place the second pie crust over the cherry filling. Crimp the edges of the crusts together to seal in the delicious filling and prevent leakage during baking.
5
Using a sharp knife, cut a small steam vent in the center of the top crust to allow steam to escape. You can create a simple design or just a slit.
6
Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to give it a golden glaze, then sprinkle the tablespoon of sugar evenly over the top.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn't over-brown.
8
Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing to allow the filling to set. Serve warm or at room temperature, paired with coffee for a true Double R Diner experience.
