Ingredients

3 1/2 cups fresh sour cherries, pitted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tbsp cornstarch
3 tbsp water

Stir in the cherries, sugar, and lemon juice.
Cover and cook over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until the juices are thickened.

Notes

For a vegan cherry pie that won't disappoint, try our flaky pie crust. We also have this crowd-favorite homemade pie crust dough that comes together in a blender!
Think outside the crust and use this old fashioned cherry pie filling on top of vegan cheesecake, waffles, or French toast!
Cook frozen cherries over medium heat, stirring often, until they release their juices. Then, add your sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice and simmer on low.
