Course Dessert

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 3 cups sifted flour
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup iced water

Filling

  • 1 can cherry pie filling
  • 1 cup dried sweetened cranberries
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • To make crust: In a bowl, place flour, shortening and salt and with a pastry cutter, cut into pea sized morsels. Add iced water slowly to form dough ball. Wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes to allow gluten to react.
  • Meanwhile to make the filling, in a bowl combine all ingredients and mix to blend. Set aside.
  • Divide dough roll in half. Roll each half between two sheets waxed paper to make 2 (10-inch) crusts. Line a 9-inch pie plate with dough and pour filling into crust. Make a few steam-vent slits in top crust and place over filling. Trim and flute crust. Place in preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Makes 1 pie. Enjoy!
