Prep Time 10 minutes

Total Time 55 minutes
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans Cherry pie filling of your choice
  • zest & juice of one lemon
  • zest & juice of one orange
  • 1/4 cup sugar plus more for topping the final crust
  • 2 tbsp corn starch
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 pie crust
  • 1 egg, beaten to brush your crust
  • 2 tbsp butter pieces for dotting your filling

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.  In a large bowl combine the cherry pie filling mix, add the zest from the lemon and orange, the sugar, and cinnamon.  In a separate small bowl combine the lemon juice, the orange juice, and the corn starch.  Blend, adding a little water if needed to make a smooth slurry and add to your pie mixture.
    Place your bottom crust in a pie pan, pour in your filling and dot with your butter pieces. Top with your second crust sealing the edges and crimping. Cut slits in the crust with a sharp knife to allow the steam to release.  Brush the beaten egg over your pie crust and sprinkle with sugar.  
    Place on a sheet pan and place into the oven for about 45 minutes or until the pie is bubbling and golden brown.  Serve with Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
