Directions
- Place all-purpose flour, salt and sugar in a food processor fitted with a metal blade and pulse twice.

- Remove both pastry discs from the fridge and let sit 20 minutes. Remove plastic, roll out first disc on a lightly- floured surface
- Fit bottom crust into pie dish, turn out Cherry Pie Filling into dish and refrigerate
- For the lattice crust: Roll out the remaining disc on parchment to make a 12” circle. Using a 1-inch square cutter, start at the center spacing each cut evenly across the surface. Leave 2-inches around the edge for fluted edge. Place lattice on parchment to lay flat in fridge for 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425ºF (240ºC)

Tips
- If you do not have a food processor, just use a fork to cut in the butter until the dough looks like course crumbs or starts to come together.
