How to cook Cherry Pie
Peaceful Preparation
- Mix together the pitted cherries with the sweetener and coconut oil in a saucepan. Opt to reserve one cup of cherries.
- Heat over medium-low heat for a few minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix the starch with some of the liquid released from the cherries. Once mixed well, stir into the cherry mixture until no chunks remain.
- Remove from the heat, stir in the last cup of cherries.
- Cool to room temperature. While cooling make the crust.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Once cool, pour the cherry mixture into a prepared pie crust, top with another pie crust if preferred. Pinch the sides, ensure a slit is on top for breathing.
- Mix together the "egg wash" of dairy free milk and sweetener, brush on top.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, until golden and bubbling.
- Cool to room temperature for an hour or longer.
- Serve with vanilla vegan ice cream or banana nice cream. Enjoy!!
