Trim pastry even with rim; flute edge. Put aluminum foil around edge of pie until the last 15 minutes of baking. Bake at 375 degrees until pie bubbles up and crust is golden brown. Note: Sometimes I use Pillsbury crusts. Betcha can't tell the difference!!! Cherry Pie Crust: 2 c. all-purpose flour 1 tsp. salt 2/3 c. shortening (Crisco) 6 to 7 Tbsp. cold water Mix flour and salt together. Cut 1/2 of the shortening into flour until it looks like cornmeal (this makes the crust flaky). Sprinkle water gradually (1 to 2 tablespoons) over mixture. Gently toss with fork. Push to side of bowl. Repeat until all is moistened. Divide into 2 balls. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface rolling from center to edge until about 12-inch in diameter.
