How to Make Ground Cherry Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. **Make the pie crust:** In a food processor, combine 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon salt. Pulse to combine.
  3. Add 1 cup (2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into cubes. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually add 6-8 tablespoons ice water, pulsing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and form into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough and cut out enough circles to fit your silicone cupcake molds (or a standard pie plate).
  7. **Make the filling:** In a medium bowl, gently combine 2 cups ground cherries, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, and 2 tablespoons water.
  8. Spoon the filling into the pie crusts, filling each about ¾ full.
  9. You can either create a lattice top crust with the remaining dough, or use it to create a rustic top crust (cut into strips and arrange over the filling).
  10. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 20 minutes.
  11. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F (150°C) and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  12. Let cool completely before serving. Enjoy warm or chilled with ice cream!
