Classic Sour Cherry Pie with Lattice Crust

Fantastic pie! The filling is bursting with sweet-tart cherries flavoured with a hint of vanilla and just enough sugar to sweeten them without masking their flavour.

The crust is an all-butter pastry that uses the very basic ingredients of flour, sugar, salt and water. It’s easy to work with, bakes up flaky and tender and is the perfect complement for the tart filling. Though the recipe just calls for a regular 9” pie plate, I used a deep dish, as there’s a high fruit:crust ratio.

The most difficult thing about making this pie is waiting until it’s cool enough to slice and eat!
