Homemade cherry pie...

I bought a lot of cherries...and since the weather was cool, I thought I'd bake a cherry pie.  For the crust, I used Hilah's pie crust recipe, but doubled it, so I could have enough dough to do a lattice top:

• 2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
•  2/3 cup coconut oil (I got mine at Trader Joe's $5.99 for a 16 oz. jar)
• 1/4 cup cold water 
• a pinch of salt

I put everything in the freezer for about 5 minutes, then mixed well in my food processor, rolled out half of the dough for the bottom crust.  For the filling, I pitted the cherries and gently combined all the following ingredients:

• 4 cups fresh cherries
• 1 1/2 tablespoons corn starch
• 1/2 cup sugar
• Sprinkle of sea salt

I like simple recipes.  I used this vegan cherry pie recipe as inspiration, but simplified things.  I baked the pie at 350' F for a little longer than 30 minutes.  If you make this, you'll need to buy 2 to 3 pounds of cherries.  Enjoy!  ♥
