How To Make rustic cherry tart

• 
  Step 1
  To make the crust, combine the flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Mix. Add the cubed cold butter.
• 
  Step 2
  Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles gravel.
• 
  Step 3
  Add the ice water, 1 Tbsp at a time, mixing with your hands as you go. Add 3 - 4 Tbsp in total.
• 
  Step 4
  Mix until a dough ball forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
• 
  Step 5
  After the dough has chilled, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Make the filling by placing prepared cherries in a large mixing bowl.
• 
  Step 6
  Add the salt, corn starch, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the cherries. Gently mix and set aside.
• 
  Step 7
  On a floured surface, roll the dough into a 12-14-inch circle.
• 
  Step 8
  With a slotted spoon, place the cherries in the center of the crust leaving about 1 1/2 inches free around the edges of the crust. Reserve the juices left in the bowl.
• 
  Step 9
  Tuck and fold the edges of the dough about every 2 - 3 inches.
• 
  Step 10
  Make sure the dough is pinched together well. Pour the reserved cherry juices into the center of the cherry filling.
• 
  Step 11
  Beat the egg and the remaining 1 Tbsp water for an egg wash. Brush the dough lightly with the egg wash. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 - 50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
• 
  Step 12
  Serve alone or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
