Cherry Slab Pie

• 2 pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
• 6 cups fresh cherries, pitted and halved
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 egg, beaten
• Coarse sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Roll out one of the pie crusts to fit the bottom of the pan and trim any excess dough. Place it in the prepared pan and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, mix together the cherries, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and lemon juice until the cherries are well coated.
4. Pour the cherry mixture over the prepared pie crust, then dot the top with the small pieces of butter.
5. Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the top of the cherries. Use a knife to trim any excess dough and crimp the edges of the crust to seal it.
6. Brush the top of the pie with the beaten egg, then sprinkle coarse sugar over the top.
7. Use a sharp knife to cut a few slits in the top of the pie crust to allow steam to escape.
8. Bake the pie for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
9. Allow the pie to cool to room temperature before slicing and serving.

This easy cherry slab pie is perfect for any occasion and is sure to impress your guests. With a simple ingredient list and easy-to-follow instructions, this pie is a great way to use up fresh cherries when they’re in season. Enjoy!
