Steps of Cherry Pie Recipe

#	Steps
1.	To make the crust, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the cubed butter and use a pastry blender or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
2.	Add the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together and forms a ball. Divide the dough in half and flatten each half into a disk. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3.	Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
4.	To make the filling, in a large bowl, combine the cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, almond extract, and melted butter. Stir until well combined.
5.	On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the dough to the dish and trim the edges.
6.	Pour the cherry filling into the pie shell.
7.	Roll out the remaining dough disk and cut it into strips. Arrange the strips in a lattice pattern over the filling.
8.	In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the lattice crust with the egg wash.
9.	Bake the pie for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
10.	Allow the pie to cool completely before serving.

For a vegan version, use vegan butter and substitute the egg wash with a mixture of non-dairy milk and maple syrup. To pit cherries, use a cherry pitter or a small paring knife to slice around the pit and remove it. If using frozen cherries, be sure to thaw them completely and drain off any excess liquid before using in the filling. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a delicious finishing touch.
