Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425ðF (220ðC).
  2. Drain the cherries, reserving 1/2 cup of the liquid.
  3. In a large saucepan, combine the drained cherries, reserved liquid, 1 cup sugar, cornstarch, and red food coloring.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens significantly.
  5. Pour the hot cherry filling into one of the frozen deep-dish pie crusts.
  6. While the second crust is still frozen, break or crumble it into very small pieces.
  7. Mix the crumbled crust pieces with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and the cinnamon.
  8. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the cherry filling.
  9. Place the pie on a preheated baking sheet and bake at 425ðF (218ðC) for 10 minutes.
  10. Reduce the oven temperature to 350ðF (175ðC) and continue baking for an additional 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  11. Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving.
