Sour Cherry Slab Pie image

A traditional slice of pie makes poor finger food, but a slab pie is meant to be taken in hand and eaten. Typically made with an apple filling, our version uses sour cherries instead, although it also works well with blueberries.

Yield Makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 cups pitted sour cherries (fresh or frozen)
1 to 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Large pinch of salt
All purpose flour, for rolling out dough
Pate Brisee for Sour Cherry Slab Pie
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. If using frozen cherries, defrost and drain. In a large bowl, combine cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt. Stir to combine; set aside.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the larger piece of dough into an 18-by-12-inch rectangle. Transfer to a 15-by-10-by-1-inch rimmed baking sheet, (pastry will hang over sides of pan). Pour cherry mixture into lined baking sheet; set aside.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out remaining piece of dough into a 16-by-11-inch rectangle. Drape over filling. Bring bottom pastry up and over top pastry. Pinch edges to seal. Using a fork, prick top crust all over. Brush with heavy cream.
  • Bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbling, 40 to 55 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack until just warm to the touch, about 45 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together confectioners' sugar and milk until desired glaze consistency is achieved. Use a spoon to drizzle over top. Serve warm or room temperature.

I'm not a fan of sour cherry pie, but I made this recipe for my husband and he loved it. The crust was flaky and the filling was sweet and tart. He said it was the best cherry pie he's ever had.

This cherry slab pie was easy to make and turned out delicious! The crust was perfectly golden brown and the filling was sweet and tart. I served it with a dollop of whipped cream and it was the perfect dessert.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. The crust was nice and flaky, and the filling was thick and gooey. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my pie turned out perfectly! The crust was golden brown and flaky, and the filling was sweet and tart. I served it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and it was the perfect summer dessert.

This cherry slab pie was a disappointment. The filling was too tart and the crust was dry and crumbly. I won't be making this again.

This pie was easy to make and turned out great! I used fresh sour cherries from my local farmers market and the flavor was amazing. The crust was also perfect - golden brown and flaky. I will definitely be making this pie again.

I'm not usually a fan of sour cherry pie, but this recipe changed my mind. The filling was perfectly balanced and the crust was so buttery and flaky. I'll be making this again for sure!
