Deep-Dish Cherry Pie image

My great-aunt in Pennsylvania's a great country cook, and she gave this recipe to me. It's one of my husband's favorites. I like it, too-it's easier than two-crust pies, plus I've used both fresh and frozen cherries with good results.

I had some trouble getting the crust to brown. I think I needed to bake it for a little longer.
