Their cherry pie is absolutely worth it.

I've finally just learned to make pie myself. A homemade crust and homemade filling is like a totally different food from anything being sold, even in bakeries. Bought pies inevitably have a soggy crust and way too much sugar.

And it isn't as hard as I'd imagined. Just takes some patience because you need to chill the dough.

I guess I will have to learn

Pie crust is much easier to make if you have a food processor for cutting in the butter. I find recipes that use vodka to be more forgiving for rolling out.

Disagree. I am not a super experienced baker, and I actually find it easier to cut the butter in by hand. It isn't difficult at all. The food processor is a pita to get out and to clean.

Even when going to a bakery, restaurant, wherever, you are going to get either Crisco/palm oil crust, or that gross canned cherry filling. Or both together.

Finding some place that 1) makes an all butter crust and 2) uses fresh cherries and real sugar (and not too much) for the filling, is going to be very very hard to find.

+1 pies are made with tart cherries, and the fresh season just passed and is very short. I usually freeze a bunch to make pies but missed them altogether this year.

You can just buy frozen tart cherries for pie filling. It works just as well as fresh cherries and you don't have to pit them.
