- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, combine frozen cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss to coat.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the pie crust mix according to package directions. Roll out one crust into a 12-inch (30-centimeter) circle.

- To prevent the crust from burning, cover the edges with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
- Let the pie cool slightly before slicing to prevent the filling from running out.
