These are looking pretty decent, maybe not as good as I had in my mind but I’m still very happy with the result knowing that it was my first time making a cherry pie and overall a fruit pie. It wont be my last either, I have planned on making different versions of the cherry pie and hopefully I’ll get better at it every time.
I got to say that I had fun tweaking a bunch recipes that I found online to finally come up with this one… Hope you enjoy the touch of maple syrup in the filling and dried mint in the crust, I think they are adding a new dimension of flavor to the typical cherry pie you can find out there.. So try it out and let me know 😉
– INGREDIENTS –
For the Crust:
1/3 cup of margarine
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 cup of flour
1/2 teaspoon of dried mint
1 tablespoon of sugar
1 tablespoon of almond milk
For the Filling:
2 + 1/2 cup of fresh cherries (approx. 36 cherries)
3 tablespoon of maple syrup
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
2 teaspoon of corn starch
For the Crumble top:
1/2 cup of the crust mixture
1/4 cup of quick oats
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
1- Pre-heat your oven at 375. Star cutting the cherries, first in half and then each half in 4 mini pieces.
2- For the crust, mix all the ingredients together with your hands till the mixture looks like little clump of sand. Take 1/2 cup of the crust mixture OUT and take the rest to make your crust by pressing the mixture with your hands or a tart tamper (I prefer the tart tamper) at the bottom and the side of the mold (I used this one) and put in the oven for 15 minutes.
3- In a medium size pan, on the stove at medium heat, add all the ingredients for the filling and let simmer for 6-7 minutes or till the mixture is all sticky. Remove from heat and let cool down a little. In a mixing bowl, mix together all the crumble top ingredients.
4- Pour the filling mixture on the crust and add the crumble on top before putting it right back in your oven for 18 minutes 🙂 When all that is done let cool down a bit before jumping on it because it’s gonna be crazy hot! Hope you like!
Looks soooo delicious…!!!
These are so cute! I will have to make them the next time I get my hands on some cherries. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Vicky!
Hope you like them! and bring me back some comments! 🙂
These look delicious! I just bought a huge bag of cherries, and I never even thought about baking with them. I can never make them last long enough to make some delicious dessert with them. Net time, I will buy 2 big bags 😉
