8 servings
For the crust
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
Chef's tipChoose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way. - 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup dairy free butter, cold and cut into ½-inch cubes
- 6–8 tbsp ice water
For the filling
- 6 cups fresh or frozen pitted sour cherries (about 2 lbs), thawed and drained if frozen
Ingredient noteCooking often breaks down the heat-sensitive proteins that trigger oral allergy syndrome, so the cooked cherries in this recipe are likely tolerated by many with OAS. If unsure, consult your doctor. To always avoid cherries, tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp almond extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp dairy free butter, cut into small pieces
For the egg wash
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp coarse sugar (optional)
Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1 tsp salt. Add the cold dairy free butter cubes and work them into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter still visible.

Drizzle in ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork after each addition, until the dough just holds together when pressed — it should not be sticky or wet. Divide the dough into two equal discs, wrap each in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
