Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
Cut in vegan margarine until crumbly.
Whisk oil and water, then add to dry ingredients, mixing until dough forms.
Cover and chill dough for at least 30 minutes.
Divide dough in half; roll one half to 1/4-inch thickness on a floured surface.
Press crust into a pie tin and trim edges.
Cook cherries in a covered saucepan over medium-low heat for 3-5 minutes until juiced.
Combine cornstarch and 1 1/4 cups sugar; add to hot cherries, stirring well.
Return to low heat, stirring frequently, until thickened; allow to cool.
Fill the prepared crust with cooled cherry mixture, dotting with cold vegan margarine.
Roll out the second crust, moisten bottom crust edges, place second crust on top, and crimp edges.
Make slits in the top crust and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar.
Bake for 50 minutes; cool completely before serving.
