Mary says, “This is the best and most simple cherry pie I have ever made. I even picked the cherries from our cherry trees!”
Ingredients:
2 pie crusts (homemade or store-bought)
5 C. fresh or frozen cherries, pitted
1 1/2 C. sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 C. all-purpose flour
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Bake bottom crust 8 to 10 minutes, remove from oven, and set aside. Mix fresh cherries with sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and flour. Pour mixture into bottom pie crust. Cover with top crust, crimp edges, and cover edges with foil to prevent them from burning. Make a few slits on the top crust with a knife - this will help prevent overflow. Set the pie pan on a cookie sheet, and bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven and cool for 1 hour. Cut and top with ice cream or cool whip.
