Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 3-4 tablespoons ice water
- 3 cups fresh pitted cherries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, salt, and sugar.
- Cut in the cold butter cubes using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.
- Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, toss cherries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla; set aside.
- On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle.
- Transfer the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Arrange the cherry mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the cherries, pleating as needed to form a rustic crust.
- Brush the crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if using.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, until crust is golden and cherries are bubbly.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
