OLD-FASHIONED CHERRY PIE image

Who doesn't love a good cherry pie? This is a basic recipe--no frills. You can either make your own crust or use a store-bought one (some of those aren't bad). Enjoy! And don't forget the vanilla ice cream! Photo by: http://www.pillsbury.com

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/3 c sugar
1/2 c all purpose flour
6 c sour cherries, pitted
2 Tbsp butter
1 pkg refrigerated pie crusts

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, mix sugar and flour. Stir in cherries. Spoon into pastry-lined pie plate. Cut butter into small pieces; sprinkle over cherries.
  • 2. Cover with top pastry that has slits cut in it; seal and flute. Cover edge with 2- to 3-inch strip of foil to prevent excessive browning; remove foil during last 15 minutes of baking.
  • 3. Bake 35 to 45 minutes in a 425 degree oven, until crust is golden brown and juice begins to bubble through slits in crust.
  • 4. Cool on cooling rack at least 2 hours before serving.
  • 5. You may substitute 6 cups of frozen unsweetened pitted red tart cherries, thawed and drained, or 3 cans (14.5 oz. ea.) pitted red tart cherries, drained, for the fresh cherries.
