EASY FRESH CHERRY PIE
I came up with this recipe by not reading the directions carefully on a cherry pie recipe I found one day, and thought I had ruined the pie. But the end result of that "mistake" was the best cherry pie I have ever had. If you like a cherry pie that is not too sweet, and allows the cherry flavor to really come through, I think you will enjoy this. The crust on this pie is very flaky and buttery.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Pit and halve cherries, set aside.
- In a separate bowl stir together flour and salt, stir in the sugar, add the cherries and almond extract. Then mix in the cold, cubed butter. Place mixture in the fridge to keep the butter from melting.
- To make the crust stir together flour and salt.
- Add the 3/4 cup of butter flavor Crisco and cut in shortening with a fork, 2 knives or pastry cutter until shortening is the size of small peas.
- Add water, a tablespoon at a time, and mix with fork until the dough starts to form a ball.
- Work dough into one large ball then separate into two. (If doing a lattice top, or using a deep dish pie pan, I normally make the ball for the bottom pie crust a little larger, gives you more to work with when rolling out the dough).
- You can either roll out the dough between 2 sheets of wax paper, or a floured surface. I prefer rolling it out on a floured surface, sprinkling a little flour on top of the crust and my rolling pin, rolling it out until about 1/8 inch thickness. Then rolling the crust onto my rolling pin and placing it on the pie plate. Make the crust a little larger then your pie pan.
- Prick bottom crust with a fork.
- Add the cherry filling into the crust.
- If making a solid top, again roll out another pie crust and add to the top, crimp edges with a fork that's been dipped in flour, and cut slits into the pie.
- I like to add a small amount of melted butter brushed over the top and a sprinkling of white sugar to give the crust a little sweetness, but this is of course optional.
- Place pie on a cookie sheet in center of oven and bake at 425 for 40 minutes, or if you're in high altitudes, bake at 400, until golden brown.
- Note: if the edges of the crust are browning too quickly, wrap edges in aluminum foil.
Tips:
- Use a 9-inch pie plate for this recipe, as a larger pan will result in a thinner pie.
- To prevent the pie crust from getting soggy, pre-bake it for 10-12 minutes before adding the filling.
- When measuring the flour, spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife. Do not scoop the flour directly from the bag, as this will result in too much flour being used.
- When mixing the pie dough, be sure to work it just until it comes together. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
- If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use two forks to cut the butter into the flour.
- When rolling out the pie dough, use a light touch and work quickly to prevent the dough from getting tough.
- If the dough is too sticky to roll out, chill it for 30 minutes before trying again.
- To prevent the pie crust from shrinking, trim the edges of the dough even with the pie plate.
- Brush the edges of the pie crust with milk before baking to help them brown.
- Bake the pie in a preheated oven to ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the filling to set.
Conclusion:
This easy cherry pie recipe is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a flaky crust and a sweet and tart filling, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying dessert, give this cherry pie recipe a try.
