Ingredients

Scale

  • 6 tablespoons ice water
  • 4 cups fresh cherries, pitted and halved
  • 8 ounces cola
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 egg + 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Make the pie crust by whisking together flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until coarse crumbs form. Add ice water gradually until the dough holds together.
  2. Divide the dough into thirds. Chill for at least an hour.
  3. Soak the pitted cherries in cola for at least 45 minutes while the dough chills.
  4. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  5. Roll out two-thirds of the dough into a rectangle and fit it into a greased 13 x 9-inch baking sheet.
  6. Drain cherries and combine them with sugar, cornstarch, and salt before pouring over the crust.
  7. Roll out the remaining dough and cut into shapes; place over filling. Brush with egg wash.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
