Sour Cherry Pie With Jason Biggs And Paul Walker Recipes

Steps:

• To make dough: in bowl of a food processor pulse together flour and salt just to combine. Add butter and pulse until chickpea-size pieces form. Add 3 to 6 tablespoons ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until mixture just comes together. Separate dough into 2 disks, one using 2/3 dough, the other using the remaining. Wrap disks in plastic and refrigerate at least 1 hour (and up to 3 days) before rolling out and baking.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place larger dough disk on a lightly floured surface and roll into a 12-inch circle, about 3/8-inch thick. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Line dough with foil and weigh it down with pie weights. Bake until crust is light golden brown, about 30 minutes.
• While pie crust is baking, prepare filling. In bowl of a food processor, combine sugar, tapioca and cinnamon (use more tapioca if you prefer a thicker, more solid filling, and less if you like a looser, juicier filling). Run the motor until tapioca is finely ground. Place cherries in a bowl and add sugar and tapioca mixture. Drizzle in kirsch or brandy and toss gently to combine.
• When pie crust is ready, transfer it to a wire rack to cool slightly and reduce heat to 375 degrees. Remove foil and weights. Scrape cherry filling into pie crust.
• Place smaller disk of dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it 3/8-inch thick. Use a round cookie cutter (or several round cookie cutters of different sizes) to cut out circles of dough. Arrange circles on top of cherry filling in a pattern of your choice.
• Brush top crust with cream and sprinkle generously with Demerara sugar. Bake until crust is dark golden brown and filling begins to bubble, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Transfer pie to a wire rack to cool for at least 2 hours, allowing filling to set before serving.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees, with rack in lowest position. On a floured piece of parchment paper, roll one disk of dough to a 14-inch round. Wrap dough around rolling pin; unroll over a 9-inch pie plate. Gently fit into bottom and sides of plate (do not stretch dough). Using kitchen shears, trim dough to a 1-inch overhand all around. In a large bowl, combine cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice; toss until cherries are coated. Pour into prepared bottom crust.
• On a floured piece of parchment paper, roll second disk of dough to a 14-inch round. Cut into eight 1 1/2-inch-wide strips; discard the shortest two. Weave strips over filling to form a lattice (see photo, page 28). Using kitchen shears, trim strips so they hang over rim by 1 inch. Tuck strips under rim of bottom crust; press to seal. Crimp with a fork all around the edge.
• Using a pastry brush, lightly brush lattice with egg wash, and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
• Place pie on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until filling is bubbling rapidly all over, 60 to 70 minutes (tent with aluminum foil when crust starts to brown, about 40 minutes). Transfer pie to a wire rack, and let cool to room temperature, at least 3 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the filling: Toss together cherries, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and almond extract 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 top 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 or 5 holes using a 3/4-inch round cookie cutter. 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 parchment-lined baking sheet set on the middle rack, with a foil-lined baking sheet on bottom rack to catch juices, until pie is bubbling in center and crust is golden, about 1 hour 45 minutes. Transfer pie to a wire rack, and let cool before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Press the bottom pie crust into a lightly greased 9-inch pie pan.
• Combine cherries, sugar, flour, orange zest, orange juice, and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
• Place cherry mixture into the bottom pie crust and add butter in a few small dollops on the top. Place the top pie crust over in a woven lattice design or leave it whole, being sure to cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
• Mix egg white and milk together in a small bowl and brush over the top of the pie.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top has a golden brown sheen, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool thoroughly before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Press the bottom pie crusts into 2 pie pans.
• Combine cherries, 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan. Let sit until sugar begins to draw out the cherries' juices, about 10 minutes. Bring to boil, stirring constantly. Lower the heat; simmer until the juices thicken and become translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in butter and almond extract until well mixed. Pour into the bottom half of the pie shells. Cover with top crusts, crimp the edges to seal, and cut vents into the top with a sharp knife.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, 45 to 55 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. If using frozen cherries, defrost and drain. In a large bowl, combine cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt. Stir to combine; set aside.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the larger piece of dough into an 18-by-12-inch rectangle. Transfer to a 15-by-10-by-1-inch rimmed baking sheet, (pastry will hang over sides of pan). Pour cherry mixture into lined baking sheet; set aside.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out remaining piece of dough into a 16-by-11-inch rectangle. Drape over filling. Bring bottom pastry up and over top pastry. Pinch edges to seal. Using a fork, prick top crust all over. Brush with heavy cream.
• Bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbling, 40 to 55 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack until just warm to the touch, about 45 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, stir together confectioners' sugar and milk until desired glaze consistency is achieved. Use a spoon to drizzle over top. Serve warm or room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees, with rack in bottom third. Stir together rhubarb, granulated sugar, cornstarch, salt, and lemon zest and juice in a large bowl; set aside.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 piece of dough to a 13-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Fit into a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish glass pie plate. Fill with rhubarb mixture, and dot with butter. Refrigerate.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out remaining dough to a 13-inch round. Drape over filling. Trim edge to 1 inch. Fold edge under, and crimp as desired. Make five 2 1/2- to 3-inch slits in crust to vent. Refrigerate 15 minutes.
• Whisk cream and egg yolk in a small bowl. Brush over crust. Sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until bottom crust is golden and filling is bubbling vigorously, 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes. Cover with foil if browning too quickly. Let cool at least 4 hours.

Steps:

• Filling:Bring jam and lemon zest to a boil in a small saucepan, and cook, stirring, until jam is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in lemon juice. Whisk 2 teaspoons water into cornstarch in a small bowl, and stir into hot jam mixture. Let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Discard zest.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out 1 disk of dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate, and trim edge of dough to rim. Roll out remaining disk of dough into a 12-inch round. Using a 3/4-inch round cookie cutter (from a cookie cutter set), cut out circles from dough, leaving about 1 inch between each hole and a 3-inch border of solid dough around perimeter. Transfer dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet, and refrigerate, along with dough in pie plate, until firm, about 1 hour.
• Pour filling into crust. Place top crust over filling, and trim excess, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold under bottom crust. Press to seal, and crimp to form a scalloped edge. Beat together egg and remaining teaspoon water, and brush top of pie with egg wash. Bake pie 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees, and bake until golden brown and bubbling through holes, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack, about 2 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place foil on bottom oven rack to catch any juices.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll out one disc of dough to 1/8 inch thick. Cut out an 11-inch round, and fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Refrigerate crust while you prepare the lattice strips.
• On a lightly floured piece of parchment, roll out second disc of dough to 1/8 inch thick. Trim to make a 9-by-12-inch rectangle. Using a clean ruler as a guide, cut 16 strips (each 12 inches long and 1/2 inch wide) with a fluted pastry wheel or a sharp knife. Place strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and refrigerate until cold, about 10 minutes.
• Combine sugar, cornstarch, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Using your fingertips, rub vanilla seeds into sugar mixture. Add cherries, and toss. Pour cherry mixture into prepared pie plate. Dot top with butter. Lightly brush exposed edge of crust with egg.
• Make the lattice: Lay 8 strips of dough across pie. Fold back every other strip. Lay another strip perpendicular in center of pie. Unfold the strips over perpendicular strip. Fold back the strips that are under the perpendicular strip. Lay a second perpendicular strip next to the first. Unfold the strips over the second perpendicular strip. Repeat, weaving strips across half the pie. Return to center, lay a perpendicular strip on unwoven side of pie, and repeat. Trim strips to make a 1-inch overhang. Tuck extra under rim of crust, and crimp to seal. Brush lattice with egg.
• Bake until crust is golden brown and juices are bubbling (if using fresh cherries, begin checking after 1 hour; if using frozen, it will take about 1 hour, 35 minutes). If top begins to brown too quickly, tent with foil and continue to cook.
• Let pie cool slightly on a wire rack. Meanwhile, warm jam in a saucepan over medium heat, then pass through a sieve. Brush warm pie with jam, then let cool.
