Cherry And Strawberry Lattice Pie Recipes

CHERRY AND STRAWBERRY LATTICE PIE

Steps:

• Spray a 9-inch pie plate with a light coating of cooking spray. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of the wafer crumbs, if using, on the bottom of the pie plate.
• Roll out 1 sheet of the pie dough until large enough to fit into your prepared pie plate with 1 inch of overhang all around. Press the dough into the pie plate. Sprinkle the remaining wafer crumbs on top of the pie crust and refrigerate. Roll out the remaining sheet of pie dough into a rough rectangle about 1/8 inch thick and refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
• Combine the cherries and strawberries in a large bowl. Mix the sugar, cornstarch, salt and lemon zest in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the fruit and mix well. Add the lemon juice and vanilla and toss to coat. Pour the filling into the chilled bottom crust. Brush some of the heavy cream onto the edge of the overhanging dough.
• Remove the rectangle of dough from the refrigerator and cut into 1-inch-wide strips. Lay strips of dough across the entire pie in one direction about 1 inch apart. Starting at one end of the pie, fold back every other strip halfway. Lay another dough strip perpendicular to the first row of strips. Unfold the strips back over the new strip, then fold alternate strips back halfway. Add another perpendicular strip; unfold the strips back over it. Repeat to form a lattice. Trim off excess dough from the strips and then fold in the 1 inch overhang, rolling it in towards the edge of the pie plate so that it sits on top of the plate's rim. Crimp as desired.
• Brush just the lattice portion with the remaining heavy cream. Place the pie in the freezer for 30 minutes to chill and rest.
• Place a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet on the center rack of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. When the pie has chilled, place it on the preheated baking sheet and bake until the crust is golden and the pie is bubbling vigorously, 65 to 75 minutes, checking the pie after 35 minutes for browning. Rotate the baking sheet back to front. If the pie is browning too quickly, take a piece of aluminum foil, poke a few holes in it, then lay it gently over the top of the pie for the remainder of the bake time. The center of the pie must be bubbling for the cornstarch to be fully activated. The center of the pie should reach an internal temperature of about 212 degrees F.
• Let cool for at least 3 hours before serving to allow the filling to thicken.

LATTICE-TOP STRAWBERRY PIE

Steps:

• To make the crust, combine the flour, 2 teaspoons of the sugar and the salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and shortening and rub into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually and gently stir in just enough water to make it come together. Divide the dough in halve and gently press each half into a ball. Wrap both in plastic, flatten into disks, and refrigerate until cold, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
• To make the filling, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss together the strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt. Set aside.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough round to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Fit the dough in the pie plate and spoon in the filling. Scatter the butter evenly over the top. Roll out the remaining dough, cut it into 1-inch strips and weave a lattice top over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges. Brush the egg over the crust and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sugar. Place on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 15 minutes. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees. Continue baking until the crust is nicely browned and the filling bubbles thickly, 40-50 minutes. Place on a rack to cool completely, at least 3 hours and up to 1 day. Cut into wedges and serve.

CRANBERRY-CHERRY LATTICE PIE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the pie filling, cranberry sauce, sugar, tapioca, lemon juice and cinnamon. Let stand for 15 minutes. , Line a 9-in. pie plate with bottom pastry; add filling. Dot with butter. Roll out remaining pastry; make a lattice crust. Trim, seal and flute edges., Bake at 400° for 35-40 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack.

TART CHERRY LATTICE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, combine sugar and flour; stir in cherries and extract. , On a lightly floured surface, roll one half of the pastry dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim pastry to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate. Add filling; dot with butter., Roll remaining dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; cut into 1-1/2-in.-wide strips. Arrange over filling in a lattice pattern. Trim and seal strips to edge of bottom pastry; flute edge. Cover edge loosely with foil., Bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 40-50 minutes. Remove foil. Cool on a wire rack.

RHUBARB-STRAWBERRY LATTICE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the filling: Mix together rhubarb, strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, zest and juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Make the crust: Roll out 1 disk pate brisee to a 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate. Pour in filling; dot top with butter. Refrigerate while making top crust.
• Roll remaining disk pate brisee to a 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut into at least 15 1/2-inch-wide strips using a fluted pastry cutter.
• Lay 8 strips across pie. Fold back every other strip, and lay a horizontal strip across the center of the pie. Unfold folded strips, then fold back remaining strips. Lay another horizontal strip across pie. Repeat folding and unfolding strips to weave a lattice pattern. Repeat on remaining side. (Here is a detailed how-to.)
• Trim bottom and top crusts to a 1-inch overhang using kitchen shears, and press together to seal around edges. Fold edges under, and crimp as desired. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Brush crust with egg wash, and sprinkle generously with sanding sugar. Bake pie on middle rack, with a foil-lined baking sheet on bottom rack to catch juices, until vigorously bubbling in center and bottom crust is golden, about 1 1/2 hours. (Loosely tent with foil after 1 hour if crust is browning too quickly.) Transfer pie to a wire rack, and let cool for at least 2 hours (preferably longer) before serving.

CHERRY-BERRY LATTICE PIE

Steps:

• Make crust:
• Blend flour, sugar and salt in processor. Add butter. Using on/off turns, process until mixture resembles very coarse meal. Beat egg with 2 tablespoons milk; add to processor. Blend until moist clumps form, adding more milk by tablespoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; divide into 2 pieces, 1 slightly larger than the other. Flatten each piece into disk and wrap in plastic; refrigerate 1 hour. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated. Let soften slightly at room temperature before rolling out.)
• Make filling:
• Combine first 6 ingredients in large bowl; toss to blend. Let stand until tapioca is translucent, tossing occasionally, about 35 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out larger dough disk on floured surface to 13-inch round; transfer to 9-inch-diameter deep-dish glass pie dish with 1 3/4-inch-high sides. Spoon in filling; dot with butter. Roll out remaining dough disk to 7 x 11-inch rectangle. Cut lengthwise into 10 generous 1/2-inch-wide strips (reserve remaining dough for another use). Arrange 5 strips across pie. Form lattice by arranging 5 strips diagonally across first strips. Cut overhang of bottom crust and strips to 3/4 inch. Fold under; crimp edge decoratively. Sprinkle lattice with sugar.
• Place pie on baking sheet; bake 30 minutes. Cover edge with foil. Continue to bake until filling bubbles thickly, about 50 minutes longer. Cool at least 45 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
