Ingredients 

Pie Crust

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter cold, cut into cubes
  • ¼ cup ice water more if needed

Cherry Filling

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen cherries pitted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour and butter. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add ice water a tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. In a saucepan, combine cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Let cool.
  5. Roll out one disc of dough on a floured surface and fit it into a pie dish. Pour the cherry filling into the crust.
  6. Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges, and cut a few slits in the top crust for steam to escape.
  7. Bake for 50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Let cool before serving.
