Preparation Steps

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• In a bowl, mix the sour cherries with sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cornstarch.
• In another bowl, combine flour and salt, then cut in chilled butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Gradually add ice water, stirring until the dough forms. Chill for 10 minutes.
• Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a circle and place it on a baking sheet.
• Spoon the cherry filling into the center, leaving a border.
• Fold the edges of the dough over the cherries, pleating as needed.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden and bubbly.
• Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving warm.
