Cherry Pie
A lightened take on classic American cherry pie, built with a butter-and-Greek-yogurt shortcrust that cuts the usual fat load while keeping a flaky, golden lattice top. The filling leans on naturally sweet-tart cherries lightly thickened with cornstarch and brightened with lemon and cinnamon, so each individually-baked pie stays juicy without needing a heavy sugar pour.

Instructions
1
In a bowl, rub the cold cubed butter into the sifted flour and salt until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2
Stir in the cold greek yogurt, then add iced water a teaspoon at a time until the dough just comes together. Flatten into a disc, wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
3
Meanwhile, toss the pitted cherry halves with sugar-white, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon and vanilla extract in a bowl; set aside to macerate for 10 minutes.
4
Preheat the oven to 190C (375F). Divide the chilled dough in two and roll each piece thin on a floured surface to fit the two individual 8cm tart tins, reserving trim for lattice strips.
5
Press dough into the two tins, trimming excess, and fill each with half the cherry filling and its juices.
6
Cut reserved dough trim into thin strips and weave a simple lattice over each pie, pressing edges to seal.
7
Place the tins on a baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling bubbles thickly through the lattice.
8
Cool the pies on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before serving so the filling sets.
