Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a bowl, mix flour, Crisco, and salt. Gradually add cold water, stirring until combined.
Divide the dough in half. Roll out the first half on a floured surface and place it in a pie pan, pressing it gently into shape.
Roll out the second half of the dough on a floured surface and set aside.
In a saucepan, combine pitted cherries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, butter, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens.
Transfer the cherry filling into the prepared pie crust in the pan.
Cover the filling with the second rolled-out dough, pinching the edges together, and trimming off any excess.
Create slits in the top dough for steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and continue baking for an additional 30 to 45 minutes until the crust is golden brown.

Notes

For a sweeter pie, adjust the sugar according to taste.
Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
Ensure cherries are properly pitted for the best texture.
