Ingredients
For the Pie Filling
21ouncescherry pie filling1 large can
⅓Tablespooncornstarch
For the Crust
2gluten free pie crusts (bottom + lattice top)
1largeegg(for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Roll out the larger dough disc and fit it into a 9″ pie plate. Trim excess.
Mix cherry pie filling and cornstarch in a medium bowl until combined.
Heat the cherry mixture over medium until bubbling, then simmer for 60 seconds to thicken.
Pour the thickened filling into the crust.
Top Crust: Roll out the smaller dough disc. Place over the filling whole or cut into strips for a lattice.
Trim and crimp edges to seal. Cut slits to vent, if using a full crust.
Beat the egg and brush it over the top crust.
Bake for 35–45 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling bubbles.
Cool on the counter 3–4 hours before slicing to let the filling set.
Notes
Pro Tips
If the dough cracks when placed in the pan, press it back together, because gluten-free dough is forgiving.
Always roll on a surface dusted with starch/flour to minimize sticking.
Use pastry strips for classic lattice. This also creates steam vents.
