Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the cherries, white sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir until the cherries are well coated and set aside.
Unroll the refrigerated pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim off any excess dough hanging over the edges and prick the bottom of the crust with a fork a few times.
Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of flour evenly across the bottom of the crust to help prevent sogginess.
Pour the cherry mixture into the pie crust and spread it out evenly.
In a medium bowl, mix the biscuit mix and milk until a soft dough forms. Drop small spoonfuls of the dough over the cherries to create biscuit nuggets.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and melted butter. Drizzle this mixture over the biscuit nuggets for added sweetness and a caramelized finish.
Brush the exposed edges of the pie crust with the egg wash to help it bake to a golden brown.
Place the pie on the middle rack of your preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust and biscuit nuggets are golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbly.
Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the filling to set properly.
Serve warm or at room temperature on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
