Ingredients

• 5 cups Fresh cherries (pitted)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or Stevia baking blend)
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 9-inch Diabetic-friendly pie crusts (pre-made or homemade)
• 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pitted cherries, granulated sugar substitute, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Mix well until the cherries are evenly coated and set aside.

Step 3

Roll out one diabetic-friendly pie crust and gently press it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges.

Step 4

Pour the cherry filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 5

Roll out the second pie crust and cut it into even strips (about 1/2-inch wide) to create the lattice pattern.

Step 6

Lay half the strips horizontally across the cherry filling, leaving space between each strip. Then, weave the remaining strips vertically to form a lattice pattern. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges together to seal.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Lightly brush the lattice crust with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 8

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.

Step 10

Slice and enjoy your diabetic-friendly cherry lattice pie!
