Delicious and foolproof cherry pie made with fresh sour cherries and a touch of almond extract, ready in under 2 hours.
Ingredients:
  • 2 (15 ounce) packages double crust ready-to-use pie crust
  • 2 pounds sour cherries, pitted
  • 3.5 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 0.25 teaspoon almond extract
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to a toasty 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Gently mold the bottom pie crusts into 2 pie pans.
  • In a saucepan, mix cherries, sugar, and cornstarch. Allow to sit for 10 minutes until cherries release juices. Bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer until juices thicken, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in butter and almond extract. Pour into pie shells. Top with crusts, crimp edges, and cut vents on top.
  • Bake until the crust is beautifully golden brown, for 45-55 minutes in the preheated oven.
