1 tablespoon
water
-
1 tablespoon
cornstarch
-
1 piece
thawed puff pastry, around 6x10 inches

Directions
-
To prepare filling, combine the cherries, sugar and 1/2 cup water in a saucepan over medium-low heat and cook for 10 minutes.

Mix cornstarch and a tablespoon of water into paste. Add the mixture to the cherries. Keep cooking until it thickens. Allow the cherry filling to cool to room temperature.
-
Preheat oven to 400F.
-
Roll the puff pastry to enlarge it a little bit. Spoon the cherry mixture on top of the puff pastry sheet, leaving one inch boarder. Roll the boarders inward to create a dent.

Brush the pie with the beaten egg.
-
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until pastry puffs up and turns golden brown.
-
Serve with ice cream or whipped cream. Or sprinkle some icing sugar and serve it plain.
