Classic Homemade Cherry Pie for 9 Servings

Instructions:

1. Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Pulse in chilled butter cubes until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
2. Drizzle in ice water one tablespoon at a time, pulsing briefly, until the dough just begins to clump together.
3. Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
4. In a saucepan, combine cherries, sugar, lemon juice, and spices. Heat over medium for 5-8 minutes.
5. Slurry the cornstarch with a small amount of water, stir into the simmering cherries, and cook until the liquid is clear and glossy.
6. Stir in 1 tbsp of butter, then remove from heat to cool slightly.
7. Roll out the first dough disc to a 13-inch circle and press it firmly into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.
