Description

A fragrant homemade cherry pie with a buttery crust and juicy filling — a beloved classic of Eastern European baking, especially popular in central and northern Ukraine during cherry season.

For the dough
  • 300 g Flour wheat
  • 150 g Butter
  • 100 g Sugar
  • 1 pcs Egg
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 pinch Salt
    • For the filling
  • 500 g Cherries (fresh or frozen, pitted)
  • 100 g Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1 tsp Lemon juice
Instructions
  1. 1

    Prepare the dough. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add cold butter and rub until crumbs form. Add the egg and knead into a smooth dough.

  2. 2

    Chill the dough. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the filling. In a saucepan, combine cherries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Heat until thickened, then let cool.

  4. 4

    Assemble the pie. Roll out 2/3 of the dough and line a baking dish. Pour in the cherry filling. Cover with the remaining dough (lattice or full layer).

  5. 5

    Bake. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 40–45 minutes until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Cool and serve. Let the pie cool slightly, then cut into slices. Serve with tea or ice cream.
