    Ingredients:

    • 9-inch pie crust
    • 4 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
    • 1/8 teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup white sugar
    • 4 cups pitted cherries

    • 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter

    Directions:

    1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Place bottom crust in pie pan. Set top crust aside, covered.
    2. Roll out half the crust and line a 9-inch pie pan. Refrigerate until needed. Roll out the top crust and set aside.
