Here are both recipes you asked for — a classic Cherry Pie and crispy Oven-Baked Chicken Wings.
🍒 Classic Cherry Pie
Ingredients (Serves 8)
For the filling:
- 4 cups fresh or frozen cherries (pitted)
- ¾–1 cup sugar (adjust depending on sweetness)
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp almond extract (optional but traditional)
- 1 tbsp butter
For the crust:
- 1 double pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 egg + 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp coarse sugar (optional)
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat Oven to 400°F (200°C).
2️⃣ Make the Filling
In a bowl, combine cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and almond extract. Stir gently.
3️⃣ Assemble Pie
- Roll out bottom crust into a 9-inch pie dish.
- Pour cherry mixture in and dot with butter.
- Add top crust (full crust or lattice).
- Seal edges and cut slits if using full crust.
4️⃣ Egg Wash
Brush top with egg wash and sprinkle sugar.
5️⃣ Bake
Bake 45–55 minutes until crust is golden and filling is bubbling.
If crust browns too fast, cover edges with foil.
6️⃣ Cool Completely before slicing (this helps the filling set).
