Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 6 tablespoons ice water
• 21 ounces canned cherry pie filling
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Do not overwork.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

Step 6

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Carefully transfer the dough to the dish, trimming any excess edges.

Step 7

Fill the crust with the canned cherry pie filling, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

If desired, use any leftover dough to create a lattice crust or decorative topping. Place these on top of the cherry filling.

Step 9

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbling. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 10

While the pie cools, prepare the whipped cream topping. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

Step 11

Once the pie is completely cooled, spread or pipe the whipped cream over the top in an even layer for a perfect finish.

Step 12

Slice and serve the George Washington Pie Dessert with a patriotic smile!
