Sour Cherry Pie

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
Sour cherry pie is the eternal struggle and balance between sour and sweet. We trap the juicy, acidic fruit between two layers of crumbly dough, where the released juices bake into a syrup with sugar and cinnamon. The role of breadcrumbs is key: they are the 'sponge' preventing the bottom crust from getting soggy.

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix flour with baking powder, salt, and sugar. Rub in cold butter until it resembles wet sand.

Tip: Quick rubbing keeps butter structure, ensuring flaky dough.
2 ✓

Add eggs and sour cream, knead quickly. Wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Tip: Resting relaxes the dough, making it easier to work with.
3 ✓

Divide dough into 2 parts (one slightly larger for bottom). Roll out bottom sheet and place in greased pan.

Tip: Dust board with flour to prevent sticking.
4 ✓

Sprinkle dough with breadcrumbs. Spread squeezed cherries on top, sprinkle with cinnamon and extra sugar to taste.

Tip: Crumbs absorb cherry juice so the bottom crust doesn't get soggy.
5 ✓

Roll out second sheet, cover the pie. Prick with fork, brush with egg wash. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 35-40 minutes.

Tip: Fork holes release steam, preventing the crust from bubbling and cracking.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the bottom soggy?
Cherries released too much juice, or not enough crumbs. Drain fruit more thoroughly!
Why does dough break when rolling?
Butter is too warm, or not enough liquid (sour cream). Chill it briefly.
