Cherry Pie

This is a low sugar cherry pie recipe from My Vegan Kitchen. I used an 8" pan because I used a spring form and I didn't have enough pastry dough. My pie was delicious but the pastry was a little hard (as happens so often when good things go gluten free) Some dairy free vanilla ice-cream will soften it right up :)
