Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds fresh sour cherries (tart) cherries (or 3 pounds drained and thawed frozen cherries), pitted (6 cups)
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Essential Pate Brisee
All-purpose flour, for surface
1 large egg, lightly beaten with 2 tablespoons heavy cream, for egg wash

Steps:

  • Make the filling: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Toss together the cherries, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla in a bowl.
  • Make the crust: Roll out 1 disk pate brisee to a 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate. Pour in filling; dot with butter. Refrigerate while making top crust.
  • Roll remaining disk pate brisee to a 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut out 4 to 5 holes using a 3/4-inch round cookie cutter or pastry tip. Place on top of pie.
  • Trim bottom and top crusts to a 1-inch overhang using kitchen shears and press together to seal around edges. Fold edges under; crimp as desired. Freeze for 20 minutes.
  • Brush crust with egg wash. Bake pie on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet set on the middle rack, until pie is bubbling in center and crust is golden, 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours. Transfer pie to a wire rack and let cool before serving.

SOUR CHERRY SLAB PIE



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.

MARTHA STEWART'S SLAB PIE



Martha Stewart's Slab Pie image

A slab pie is simply a shallow pie that's made in a rimmed baking sheet, usually a jelly roll pan. It feeds more revelers than a standard 9-inch pie will, with less mess and fuss. Martha Stewart has made all kinds of versions. This recipe will work with any berry (or combination of berries) or stone fruit that's in season near you. If using frozen fruit, thaw and drain first. The recipe calls for 6 cups of fruit but you may find 7 cups gives a fruitier pie. Makes 1 15 x 10 inch pie.

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar

1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water

Steps:

PATE BRISEE (PIE DOUGH)



Pate Brisee (Pie Dough) image

Pate brisee is the French version of classic pie or tart pastry. Pressing the dough into a disc rather than shaping it into a ball allows it to chill faster. This will also make the dough easier to roll out, and if you freeze it, it will thaw more quickly.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Yield Makes 1 double-crust or 2 single-crust 9- to 10-inch pies

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Add butter, and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 seconds.
  • With machine running, add ice water in a slow, steady stream through feed tube. Pulse until dough holds together without being wet or sticky; be careful not to process more than 30 seconds. To test, squeeze a small amount together: If it is crumbly, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Divide dough into two equal balls. Flatten each ball into a disc and wrap in plastic. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill at least 1 hour. Dough may be stored, frozen, up to 1 month.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, measure and prepare all ingredients. It makes the baking process smoother and less stressful.
  • Handle the Dough Gently: Overworking the dough can make it tough. Use a light touch when mixing and rolling.
  • Keep the Dough Cold: Cold dough is easier to work with and less likely to stick. Chill the dough before rolling and baking.
  • Use a Sharp Knife: A sharp knife will give you clean cuts and prevent tearing the dough.
  • Don't Overfill the Pie: Too much filling can make the pie difficult to assemble and bake evenly.
  • Egg Wash: Brush the top crust with an egg wash before baking to give it a golden brown color.
  • Let the Pie Cool Before Slicing: This will allow the filling to set and prevent it from running out.

Conclusion:

Pâte Brisée is a versatile dough that can be used for sweet and savory pies, tarts, and galettes. Its flaky texture and delicate flavor make it a perfect complement to a variety of fillings. With a little practice, you'll be able to master this classic French pastry dough and impress your friends and family with your baking skills. So, grab your ingredients, put on your apron, and let's get baking!
