Co-op Sales Organic Red Cherries
  • 1 double 9-inch pie crust
  • 6-8 cups pitted cherries
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 Tbsp flour, divided
  • 1/2-1 tsp cinnamon, optional
  • 2-3 Tbsp butter

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Place pitted cherries in a bowl and toss with sugar, flour and cinnamon; set aside. Place 1 crust into 9″ pie pan, forming it up the sides of the pan. Pour cherry mixture into pan. Dot with butter. Place top crust on pie; crimp edges together with bottom crust to seal. Set pie on a baking sheet to catch drips and bake on sheet for 50-60 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling. Cover outer edge of crust if needed, during that last 15-20 minutes of baking, to keep it from burning.
