Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Mix together flour, Crisco, and salt in a bowl. Gradually add cold water and stir until dough forms.
Divide the dough in half. Roll out the first half on a floured surface and place it into a pie pan, gently pressing to fit.
Roll out the second half of the dough and set aside on a floured surface.
Pit the cherries and combine them with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, butter, and water in a saucepan.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens.
Pour the cherry filling into the pie crust in the pie pan.
Cover with the second half of the rolled dough, pinch the edges to seal, and trim any excess.
Cut slits in the top dough for steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375°F and continue baking for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Notes

Make sure to pit the cherries thoroughly for the best texture.
Rest the pie before serving to allow the filling to set better.
Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
