Wrap the disks in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. 6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). 7. Roll out one disk of dough and place it into a 9-inch pie dish. 8.

Dot the top of the cherry mixture with small pieces of butter. 11. Roll out the second disk of dough and place it over the top of the cherries. 12. Trim the excess dough and crimp the edges to seal. 13. Cut a few slits in the top of the crust to allow steam to escape. 14. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 55 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. 15. Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
For best results, use fresh cherries when they are in season. If using frozen cherries, be sure to thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid before using.
Yes, you can use store-bought pie crust if you prefer. However, the homemade crust in this recipe is easy to make and adds a delicious flaky texture to the pie.
Can I use canned cherries?
Canned cherries can be used in this recipe, but be sure to drain them well and adjust the sugar accordingly, as canned cherries can be quite sweet.
Can I make this cherry pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can make the pie ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Simply reheat it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes before serving.
Recipe Tips
To prevent the edges of the crust from burning, cover them with foil or a pie shield during the last 15-20 minutes of baking. For a decorative touch, use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes from the top crust before placing it over the cherries. Brush the top crust with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water) before baking to give it a shiny finish. Serve the cherry pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate dessert experience.
