Sweet cherry pie

Sweet and juicy cherry pie is good with ice cream.

This summer I tried something wonderful - a sweet cherry pie. The pie is really soft and juicy but I think it would be interesting to try the pie with a harder pie base.

Here is the recipe:

Pie base:
75 g butter
0,5 dl sugar
1 egg
1,5 dl flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla sugar

Filling:
0,5 l cherries (remove the stones)
2-3 dl sour cream (this depends on how moist you want the pie to be because there is a lot of juice in the cherries themselves)
2 eggs
0,5 dl sugar
1 tsp vanilla sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice

Set the oven to 175 °C.

Mix the butter and sugar well together. Add the egg and mix again. Mix the flour, baking powder and vanilla sugar and finally mix it together with the egg-sugar mix. Spread the dough to a pie casserole. If you have a bigger pie casserole than 24 cm in diameter you might need a bit more dough than in this recipe.

After you have removed the stones from the cherries add them on the pie dough.

After removing the stones place the cherries on the pie dough.

Mix eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar and lemon juice with sour cream. Pour the mix on the pie.

Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes in 175 °C.
