How to Make Easy 3 Step Holiday Cherry Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place one 9-inch ready-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, gently combine 2 cups of cherry pie filling with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Pour into the pie crust.
  3. Using the remaining 9-inch pie crust, cut out holly leaf shapes using a cookie cutter or knife. Arrange the holly leaves decoratively around the edge of the pie.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the egg wash gently over the pie crust and holly leaf decorations.
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool completely before serving for optimal taste and sliceability.
