How to Make Simple Cherry Pie

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, gently mix together 4 cups fresh or frozen cherries (thawed if frozen), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Pour the cherry filling into your prepared 9-inch pie crust. (You can use store-bought or homemade).
  4. Crimp the edges of the crust, or top with a lattice crust if desired. Brush the top with a little milk or egg wash for a golden brown finish.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
  6. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
