Yield 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 15

Crumble
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2" pieces
Pie
1 pie crust
3 24.7-oz. jars (drained weight 12 oz.) pitted sour cherries in syrup, drained well (about 6 cups; I used Trader Joe's Dark Marinello Cherries, but any sour cherry in light syrup, drained, will do)
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup bourbon
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest

Steps:

  • Crumble Whisk all ingredients except butter in a medium bowl until no lumps of sugar remain. Rub butter into oat mixture with your fingertips until it's completely incorporated. If butter begins to soften while mixing, chill mixture to firm it up, about 15 minutes (cold butter ensures a flaky, tender crumble). Cover and chill crumble up to 5 days ahead. Pie Preheat oven to 350°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and set aside. Line pie dish with crust and crimp edges decoratively. Place pie dish on prepared baking sheet. Combine cherries and remaining 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Using a rubber spatula, gently mix until cherries are coated and mixture is evenly distributed. Pour cherries into pie crust and top evenly with crumble. Bake until pie crust and center of crumble are deep golden brown and juices from cherries are bubbling and look thickened, 1 1/4-1 1/2 hours. (The juices will begin to ooze out of crust and onto foil-lined sheet.) Let pie cool for at least 2 hours at room temperature to allow filling to set properly. Cover and let stand up to 1 day at room temperature.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it.

I made this pie for my husband's birthday and he loved it! He said it was the best cherry pie he had ever had.

This pie was okay. The filling was a bit too tart for my taste, and the crust was a bit dry.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pie turned out great. The only thing I would change is to use a bit less sugar in the filling.
