How to I prevent my crust from becoming soggy?
One way to prevent a soggy crust is to basically seal the surface of it to make a barrier between the crust and the filling. Brushing the surface of the unbaked crust with beaten egg or egg white mixed with water before adding the filling means that as it bakes, the proteins in the egg will form a moisture barrier over the crust and provide a layer of protection.
What cherries should I use for this pie filling?
Tart cherries. This is a traditional cherry pie, meaning we are using tart cherries rather than sweet. Tart cherries are hard to find fresh, so most are available in a can or a jar, packing in juice.
How can I make this filling gluten free?
