| 1 | Teaspoon | butter (optional) |

Crust: Mix flour, 1/2 c. sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir then cut in 1/3 c. margarine. Blend until texture is like soft brown sugar. Press half of crust mixture into buttered 9-inch pie dish, 2 inches deep. Spread cherries over crust evenly. Cover with other half of crust mixture and pat down gently.
