Fresh Cherry Pie
- All-purpose flour, for work surface
- Marthas Perfect Pate Brisee (page 647)
- 2 1/4 pounds fresh yellow and red sweet cherries, pitted and halved
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons instant tapioca powder
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll out 1 disk pate brisee to a 1/8-inch-thick round, about 13 inches in diameter.
- Fit the dough in a 9-inch pie plate.
- In a large bowl, combine the cherries, sugar, and tapioca, and toss to coat evenly.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie plate, and set aside.
- Roll out the remaining disk of dough as in step 1.
- Using a pastry wheel or a sharp paring knife, cut the dough into 1-inch-wide strips.
- Lightly brush the rim of the dough in the pie plate with water, and weave the strips of dough on top of the filling to form a lattice.
- Using kitchen scissors, trim the strips to create a 1-inch overhang.
- Tuck the strips under the rim of shell, and crimp to seal.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes.
- Bake the pie 20 minutes.
- Reduce the oven heat to 350F; bake until the crust is deep golden brown and the juices begin to bubble, 40 to 50 minutes more.
- Transfer the pie to a wire rack, and let stand until just warm or room temperature.
- Serve with ice cream, if desired.
