ALMOND CRUSTED CHERRY CREAM PIE



Almond Crusted Cherry Cream Pie image

This is my dad's favorite pie. It's pretty easy to prepare. If you don't feel like mixing a pie crust/making your own you can buy a store bought one and just press the almonds into the crust. It is extremely rich and yummy! I don't even like cherries and I love this pie! Cook time is chill time. For the crust I usually use Recipe #51537 and just grind the almonds up and mix them in with the dry ingredients... This has seemed to work really well for me

SOUR CHERRY-ALMOND PIE



Sour Cherry-Almond Pie image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 3h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons cold vegetable shortening
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons cold vodka
3 cups jarred sour cherries (1 1/2 20-ounce jars), plus 1 1/2 cups juice from the jars
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract
1/2 cup blanched sliced almonds
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon beaten egg white

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Pulse the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor to combine. Add the shortening and pulse until the mixture looks like cornmeal. Add the butter and pulse until it is in pea-size pieces. Add the vodka and 2 tablespoons ice water; pulse until the dough just comes together but is still crumbly. Turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap; shape into a disk and wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Make the filling: Put the cherries in a medium bowl. Whisk 1/4 cup cherry juice with the cornstarch in a small bowl. Transfer to a small saucepan and add the remaining 1 1/4 cups cherry juice and the sugar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, whisking constantly, until thick and glossy, about 30 seconds. Pour over the cherries. Add the almond extract and gently fold to combine.
  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven with a baking sheet on the lower rack; preheat to 425 degrees F. Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease the dough into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp with your fingers or a fork. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Add the filling to the chilled crust. Transfer the pie to the hot baking sheet and bake 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and continue baking until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling, about 55 more minutes. (Tent the crust with foil if it browns too quickly.) Transfer to a rack.
  • Meanwhile, make the topping: Combine the almonds, sugar and egg white in a medium bowl; stir to coat. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Bake on the upper oven rack, stirring halfway through, until dry and lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely, then break into clusters. Sprinkle around the edge of the warm pie. Let cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe cherries. Fresh cherries will have a sweeter, more intense flavor than frozen or canned cherries. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen cherries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough. Gently mix the ingredients until they are just combined.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out. Chilling the dough will make it easier to roll out and will help to prevent it from sticking to the counter.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dough. A sharp knife will help to create clean, even cuts.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust. Overfilling the pie crust will make it difficult to seal the pie and will cause the filling to bubble over.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. The pie is done baking when the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. You can also insert a toothpick into the center of the pie. If the toothpick comes out clean, the pie is done.

Conclusion:

This almond cherry pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tart cherries are perfectly complemented by the nutty flavor of the almonds. The pie crust is flaky and buttery, and the filling is rich and creamy. Follow these tips to make the best almond cherry pie possible. With a little effort, you can create a delicious and impressive dessert that will be enjoyed by everyone.
