4 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch |

1/4 cup cherry preserves |
2 easy pastry dough disks |
1 egg, beaten to blend (for glaze) |

2. Roll out 1 dough disk on lightly floured surface to 13-inch round. Transfer dough to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Brush inside and top edge of crust with glaze. Spoon filling into crust.
