Meggyes Pite (Hungarian Sour Cherry Pie) is a classic Hungarian dessert, one of the most popular variations of sweet pies. The pie crust is tender and delicious, while the sour cherry filling is refreshingly tart, perfectly balancing the sweetness. With the aroma of cherries and the soft texture of the dough, this dessert is an ideal choice for any occasion.
Not only is Sour Cherry Pie delicious, but it's also extremely easy to make. You can prepare it anywhere, anytime, and it's guaranteed to please everyone. When serving, a little powdered sugar on top makes it a truly mouthwatering dessert.
Rub the flour, baking powder, and butter together until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Add the sugar, vanilla sugar, eggs, and sour cream. Knead until a smooth dough forms.
Divide the dough in half and roll each piece out to the size of your baking pan.
Place one sheet of dough into a greased baking pan, then sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
Spread the pitted sour cherries over the breadcrumbs. Sprinkle with cinnamon and a little sugar.
Top with the other sheet of dough, and prick it with a fork all over.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown.
