Who doesn't love a good cherry pie? This is a basic recipe--no frills. You can either make your own crust or use a store-bought one (some of those aren't bad). Enjoy! And don't forget the vanilla ice cream! Photo by: http://www.pillsbury.com

How To Make old-fashioned cherry pie

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix sugar and flour. Stir in cherries. Spoon into pastry-lined pie plate. Cut butter into small pieces; sprinkle over cherries.

Step 2

Cover with top pastry that has slits cut in it; seal and flute. Cover edge with 2- to 3-inch strip of foil to prevent excessive browning; remove foil during last 15 minutes of baking.
Step 3

Bake 35 to 45 minutes in a 425 degree oven, until crust is golden brown and juice begins to bubble through slits in crust.
Step 4

Cool on cooling rack at least 2 hours before serving.
Step 5

You may substitute 6 cups of frozen unsweetened pitted red tart cherries, thawed and drained, or 3 cans (14.5 oz. ea.) pitted red tart cherries, drained, for the fresh cherries.
