Ingredients

Scale

1 tablespoon of canola oil

3 large eggs

1 cup 2% milk

1/3 cup of all-purpose flour

1/2 cup of sugar

1/4 cup honey

1 ½ teaspoons of pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon of sea salt

14.5 ounces of red tart cherries, drained and pitted

1 pie crust, 9 inches

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300 to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Blend together all the ingredients (except the cherries and pie crust) for about 30 seconds using a blender or a food processor until a smooth custard mixture is obtained.
Let the thin mixture rest for about 20 minutes.
Place the cherries into the pie crust.
Pour in the custard mixture.
Bake the pie for 35-40 minutes in the preheated oven until the custard is set in the center.
Let cool on a rack before serving.

Notes

You may have the option to bake your cherry custard pie from anywhere between 300 degrees to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. But as you increase the temperature, you must be more cautious with your cooking time. Baking can be much faster when you cook at 350 degrees so always check by pricking the center using a toothpick.
