Recipe The Best Cherry Pie
The Best Cherry Pie
Ingredients
1 (15 ounce) package double crust ready-to-use pie crust, 3 cups cherries, pitted, ¾ cup white sugar, 3 tablespoons cornstarch, ¼ teaspoon almond extract, 2 tablespoons salted butter, cut into bits
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and lining a baking sheet with foil. Place the bottom crust into a 9-inch pie pan, pricking the base with a fork, and bake for 8 minutes until lightly browned before cooling for 5 minutes. In a separate bowl, stir together the cherries, sugar, cornstarch, and almond extract, then pour the mixture into the crust and dot with butter. Add the top crust, crimping the edges to seal and cutting vents for steam. Bake the pie on the prepared baking sheet for 30 minutes, using a foil tent if it browns too quickly, and continue cooking for 10 to 20 more minutes until the crust is golden and the filling bubbles. Let the pie cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes before serving.
