How to Make Easy Cherry Pie Frozen Cherries Extreme Low Fat

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare a 9-inch glass pie plate.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one pie crust to a 10-inch circle.
  4. Gently transfer the crust to the pie plate and press into the bottom and sides.
  5. In a large bowl, combine 2 (16 ounce) packages of frozen cherries (well-drained), ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon tapioca starch.
  6. Gently toss to coat the cherries evenly.
  7. Pour the cherry mixture into the prepared pie crust.
  8. Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling.
  9. Crimp the edges of the bottom and top crusts together, then trim and flute the edges.
  10. Cut several 1-inch slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  11. Brush the top crust with 2 tablespoons of half-and-half cream and sprinkle with 2-3 teaspoons of granulated sugar.
  12. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
  13. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 10 minutes.
  14. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  15. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
