For the Pie Filling

Method

For the Pie

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pie Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the pitted cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Gently toss until the cherries are well coated. Let the filling sit for about 15 minutes to allow the juices to release.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  3. 3

    Prepare the Pie Crust

    Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Pour the cherry filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.

  4. 4

    Top with Second Crust

    Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the cherry filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pie

    Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
