I am a BIG tart cherry pie fan. I have always been in search of a recipe to rival the famous "Cherry Hut" pies from Beulah, MI. I have tried MANY tart cherry pies from great bakeries and not so great bakeries searching to no avail. This is hands down the BEST tart Cherry pie....simple, yet perfect! If this is not the recipe I have searched for exactly, it is a GREAT substitute. I will be making thie recipe a LOT in the summer!
