Easy, Homemade Cherry Pie ### Ingredients

2 cups fresh or frozen cherries, pitted
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
1 package of refrigerated pie crusts or homemade pie crust
1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir gently until the cherries are coated. Set aside for about 15 minutes to allow the juices to mix.
Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.
Pour the cherry filling into the prepared crust, making sure to distribute it evenly. Dot the filling with small pieces of butter.
Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape, or create a lattice design for a beautiful presentation. Trim and crimp the edges to seal the pie.
Beat the egg and brush it over the top crust for a golden finish.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Once done, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 1 hour before slicing. Enjoy your delicious homemade cherry pie!

This cherry pie not only tastes amazing but also fills your kitchen with a warm, inviting aroma. Serve it warm or at room temperature, and don’t forget a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the perfect finishing touch!
