Ingredients

• For the crust:
• - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• - 1/4 teaspoon salt
• - 1/4 cup ice water
• For the cherry filling:
• - 3 cups fresh cherries, pitted
• - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• - 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a food processor, combine the flour, butter, sugar, and salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add the ice water and pulse until the dough comes together.
4. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
5. In the meantime, prepare the cherry filling. In a saucepan, combine the cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and let it cool.
6. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim any excess.
7. Pour the cherry filling into the crust.
8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
9. Allow the tart to cool before serving. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.
