WHAT SIZE PIE DISH?
I used a 22 cm (9 inch) pie dish for this cherry pie. The recipe produced enough pastry for this size pie dish with some leftover. For my 22 cm (9 inch) pie dish, I needed only half of the cherry pie filling.
CHERRIES
I bought 1.8 kg (4 lb) of cherries to make this pie and, after removing the stones, stems and any dodgy fruit, I was left with a mere 1.1 kg (2 lb) of cherries. I nevertheless proceeded to make the cherry filling as per the recipe which turned out very well, despite having less cherries than required.

MAKE-AHEAD TIPS
* Both the pastry and cherry pie filling can be made ahead of time and kept covered in the fridge until needed.
* The cherry pie can also be assembled ahead of time and kept uncovered in the fridge. When you are ready to bake, simply brush it with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar before baking.
STORAGE TIPS
This pie keeps well on a covered cake stand for several days at room temperature.
