Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh cherries
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ready-to-bake rolled piecrusts

Steps

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove cherry pits; place cherries in large bowl. Add sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and vanilla; toss to coat.
    2. Place 1 piecrust in 9-inch pie plate. Transfer cherry mixture to crust. Top pie with second crust; press or crimp edges firmly together to seal and form a fluted edge.
    3. Cut 2 slits in top crust for steam to escape. Bake 60–65 minutes until crust is browned and liquid bubbles through slits. Let stand 30 minutes to cool.
