1

Prepare the Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cut in 1 cup of chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add 3-4 tablespoons of ice water, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2

Roll out the Dough

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle large enough to fit your tart pan. Carefully transfer the dough to the pan and press it gently into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.

3

Make the Cherry Filling

In a bowl, combine 4 cups of pitted cherries, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and a pinch of cinnamon. Mix until the cherries are well coated.

4

Fill and Bake the Tart

Pour the cherry filling into the prepared tart shell. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Allow the tart to cool slightly before serving.
