Ingredients: 

- flour -butter -apple cider vinegar  (or more water) -sugar -salt -sour cherries -cornstarch -lemon -vanilla - egg -demerara sugar

01

Mix dry ingredients

Combine flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Chill vodka and vinegar (if using) in the freezer. Add ice to water.

02

Add butter

Rub butter into flour using fingertips to create some large, irregular pieces and some thin, flat pieces. Work quickly.

03

Add liquids

Drizzle over vinegar and half the water. Gently toss to combine. Add remaining water and lightly knead to form a dough. Split into two discs and chill.

04

Macerate and reduce

Macerate cherries in sugar for 20-30 minutes. Strain juices and cook them over the stove until reduced. Add remaining filling ingredients.

05

Roll out dough

Roll both dough halves into 13-inch rounds. Chill in the refrigerator. Create lattice with top dough.

06
