Chef Bud Smoke’s Cannabis-Infused Cherry Pie

Ingredients:

For the crust:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed

• 1/4 cup Canna-Butter (available at The Healing Center)

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 6-8 tablespoons ice water

For the filling:

• 5 cups fresh or frozen pitted cherries

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1/4 cup cornstarch

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

• 2 tablespoons Canna-Butter (available at The Healing Center)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Workspace: Gather all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Make sure your work surface is clean and ready for rolling out pie dough.

2. Make the Crust:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.

• Cut in the chilled butter and Canna-Butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

• Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Don’t overwork it!

• Divide the dough in half, shape into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

3. Prepare the Filling:

• In a large bowl, mix the cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using).

• Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the cornstarch to absorb the juices.

4. Roll Out the Dough:

• On a floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to fit a 9-inch pie plate.

• Place the rolled dough into the pie plate, allowing the excess to hang over the edges.

• Roll out the second disk for the top crust. You can either make a full top crust or cut it into strips for a lattice design.

5. Assemble the Pie:

• Pour the cherry filling into the prepared crust.

• Dot the filling with the 2 tablespoons of Canna-Butter.

• Cover with the top crust or arrange the lattice strips over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal.

6. Bake the Pie:

• Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips.

• Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.

• If the edges start to brown too quickly, cover them with foil.

7. Cool and Serve:

• Let the pie cool completely before serving. This allows the filling to set.

• Slice, serve, and enjoy responsibly!

Bud Smoke’s Pro Tips:

• Adjust the Dose: As always, start with a smaller amount of Canna-Butter if you’re new to cannabis-infused desserts. Remember, you can always enjoy another slice!

• Storage: Store any leftovers (if there are any) in the refrigerator. The pie will keep for a few days, but it’s best enjoyed fresh.
