Cherry pie

Cherry pie is a traditional dessert that has won over palates in many parts of the world, especially in Latin America and the United States. Its origin dates back to ancient European fruit pie recipes, where cherries became the star ingredient thanks to their sweet and slightly tart flavor. In different Latin American countries, this dessert can be found under various names; for example, in Mexico and Argentina it is usually called "cherry pay," while in other places the name "cherry tart" or simply "cherry cake" is preserved. This dessert represents the perfect combination of a crispy crust and a juicy filling, ideal for sharing on special occasions or as a delicious accompaniment to coffee.

How to Prepare Cherry Pie

To begin, mix the ingredients for the filling. Use fresh cherries along with sugar, flour, and a touch of cinnamon to get a balanced and aromatic flavor.

Place this mixture into a 9-inch pie dish that has been previously lined with a double-crust pie pastry.

Next, place the top layer of pastry over the filling.

Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking and crimp the edges so they are well sealed.

Brush the surface with a little milk and sprinkle sugar to give it a golden, sweet finish.

Bake the pie at 425°F for 25 minutes; then, reduce the temperature to 350°F and continue baking for 25 to 30 minutes more so the pie is perfectly cooked.

After baking, add the remaining cherries and mix carefully to coat them evenly.

This method allows the cherries to be better distributed than if they were pre-mixed in a bowl, and the filling achieves a firmer and more attractive consistency.
