Ingredients:

For the crust:

- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water

For the filling:

- 4 cups fresh cherries, pitted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4. In another bowl, mix together the cherries, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla extract.
5. Roll out one of the dough disks on a floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and pour in the cherry filling. Dot the top with butter.
6. Roll out the second dough disk and cut it into strips. Arrange the strips on top of the filling in a lattice pattern.
7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
