You'll also need:
11 x 34cm (4 x 13in) oblong flan tin
Method
- Preheat the oven to 220ºC/425ºF/gas 7. Roll out puff pastry and use it to line the flan tin - there's no need to trim the pastry edges. Prick the base all over with the prongs of a fork and chill while making the filling.
- Beat together softened butter and caster sugar with the ground almonds, plain flour and 1 egg. Spread this frangipane mixture in the chilled pastry case.
- Spoon all of the canned cherry pie filling down the centre and fold any excess pastry edges in over the frangipane.
- Brush the pastry with beaten egg. Place the flan tin on a hot baking sheet and bake for 15-20 mins until the pastry's risen and golden. Dust with icing sugar to serve.
