Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh cherries, pitted
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 2 prepared pie crusts
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 tablespoon sugar, for sprinkling

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the cherries, sugar, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir well until the cherries are coated in the mixture.
3. Roll out one of the pie crusts and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough from the edges.
4. Pour the cherry mixture into the pie crust. Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
5. Roll out the second pie crust and cover the cherry filling. Seal the edges by crimping them together with a fork or your fingers.
6. Brush the top of the pie crust with milk and sprinkle sugar over it for an extra golden crust.
7. Cut a few small slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape.
8. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
9. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the filling to set.
10. Serve slices of the Baked Fresh Cherry Pie warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
