Ingredients:
For the Pie:
- 1 premade pie crust
- Egg wash (1 beaten egg)
For the Filling:
- 1 cup frozen cherries
- ½ tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- Dash of vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the pie crust: Mold the premade pie crust into a small pie dish, making sure it fits snugly. For the top crust that will cover the filling, carve out scream-like eyes, nose, and mouth. Set aside while you prepare the filling.
- Make the cherry filling: In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the frozen cherries, flour, sugar, and vanilla extract. Microwave the mixture for 1 minute and 30 seconds, stopping every 30 seconds to stir, until the filling thickens.
- Assemble the pie: Pour the thickened cherry filling into the prepared pie dish. Cover with the scream-face crust. Brush the top with the egg wash for a golden finish.
- Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is set.
- Cool and enjoy: Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your spooky and delicious scream cherry pie!
