Once you dig your fork into a slice of our Tart Cherry Pie, you're going to have a hard time resisting gobbling up the whole pie. But the best part about this cherry pie recipe is how easy it is to make!
What You'll Need
- 1 (15-ounce) package folded refrigerated pie crusts
- 2 (16-ounce) cans pitted tart red cherries in water, drained with 1/4 cup liquid reserved
- 1 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon red food color
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Unfold one pie crust and place in a 9-inch pie plate, pressing crust firmly against plate; set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, cook reserved 1/4 cup cherry liquid, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and red food color over medium heat 5 to 6 minutes, or until thickened, stirring constantly. Stir in cherries and pour into pie crust.
- Unfold second pie crust and place over mixture. Trim and pinch edges together to seal and flute, if desired. Using a sharp knife, cut four 1-inch slits in the top. Place pie on rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake 45 to 50 minutes, or until crust is golden. Allow to cool slightly, then serve, or cover and chill until ready to serve.
Notes
Nothing beats cherry pie a la mode, so you've gotta serve this with some vanilla ice cream for a dessert they won't soon forget.

I love cherry pie and this one does not disappoint! I prefer to leave out the red food coloring, but everything else is great. The shortcut pie crusts make this come together lickety-split.

My hubby swears my cherry pie is the best ever, and my recipe is much the same as this one. However, I only use 1 C. sugar (Splenda works well) and no lemon juice. I do add 1 tsp. almond extract (my "secret" ingredient). I do a lattice crust to expose the cherries (I think food color looks phony).
