Ingredients
- 7 cups pitted cherries mixed varieties recommended
- 5 Tbs. gfJules All Purpose Gluten Free Flour
- ½ cup granulated cane sugar more or less, depending on the tartness of the cherries you use or unrefined coconut palm sugar
- 2 Tbs. lemon juice
- ½ cup water
- ¼ tsp. almond extract optional
- 2 recipes my Grandma's Pie Crust
- milk or egg wash to brush onto crust
Instructions
- Bring cherries, gfJules Flour, sugar, lemon juice and water to a boil over medium heat in a large saucepan. Stir frequently so the mixture does not burn. Once boiling, lower the heat to cook another 5 minutes, or until thickened.
- Remove from the heat to cool while preparing your gluten free pie crust. Refrigerate or place in the freezer if necessary to cool the mixture down before making mini pies.
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- Make 2 recipes of my Grandma’s flaky Pie Crust recipe (for a double-crust pie). Roll out according to the directions in this step-by-step post.
- Fill the lined pie plate with the cooked cherry pie filling and top with second rolled crust. Brush with milk of choice and cover the crust edges with foil or a pie crust saver (see the ones I use here).
- Bake for 15 minutes, brush the crust lightly with an egg wash or more milk or oil, then return to the oven to bake at 375° F. for 15-20 minutes (for mini pies bake only another 12 minutes). The filling should be bubbly and the crust should be lightly browned.
- Remove to cool before cutting to serve.
- Serves 6-8.
