Mix all filling ingredients in a large bowl until all cherries are evenly coated
In a separate bowl, add all dry ingredients and stir to combine
Add cold butter and using your fingers, or pastry cutter, work butter in to crumble mixture
Line the bottom of a 9" pie plate with your favorite pastry recipe
Fill with the cherries and then sprinkle crumble mixture in top
Baker on the bottom rack for 20 minutes
Reduce heat to 350°, move the pie to the middle rack and bake for another 40-45 minutes.
If the pie is browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil
Let cool completely before cutting
Notes
If you don't have pie thickener, corn starch can be used. Pie thickeners like clear instant Jel gives the pie a glossy shine and cooks better under high temperature
Frozen cherries can be used. Thaw completely and place on a paper towel lined plate to soak up any excessive juice
