Pit and slice the cherries, placing them in a bowl.

Mix the cherries with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch until well combined.

Spread the cherry mixture evenly over the pie crust.

Dot the filling with small pieces of butter.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract.

Pour the egg mixture over the cherries in the tart.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the filling is set and the crust is golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving.
