Ingredients

Scale

4 cups pitted fresh cherries
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
2 pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pit and wash the cherries. In a bowl, mix cherries with sugar, flour, lemon juice, and baking powder until well-coated.
Roll out one pie crust on a floured surface and fit it into your pie pan.
Pour the cherry mixture into the prepared crust. Dot the filling with small pats of butter.
Place the second pie crust over the filling; seal edges by crimping and cut slits in the top for steam to escape.
Bake for 45-50 minutes until bubbly and golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.
