How to Make Sour Cherry Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently mix together 4 cups pitted sour cherries, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons tapioca starch. Be careful not to crush the cherries too much.
  3. Pour the cherry mixture into your favorite 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
  4. Dot the top of the filling with 4 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces.
  5. Bake for 35-45 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 serving. Enjoy!
