Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, Crisco, and salt. Gradually stir in cold water until a dough forms.
Divide the dough in half and roll out the first half on a floured surface. Place it into a pie pan and press gently.
Roll out the second half of the dough on a floured surface, set aside for later use.
Pit the cherries and mix them with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, butter, and water in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring until thickened.
Pour the cherry filling into the prepared pie crust.
Cover the filling with the second half of the rolled out dough. Pinch the edges to seal and trim any excess dough.
Cut slits into the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375 degrees F and continue baking for 30-45 minutes until the crust is golden brown.

Notes

For best results, use fresh cherries when in season.
You can substitute butter for Crisco if preferred, but the texture may vary slightly.
Let the pie cool before slicing for a cleaner cut.
