Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen cherries pitted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract optional
  • 1 tablespoon butter cut into small pieces
  • 1 package of pie crusts or homemade
  • 1 egg for egg wash
  • 1 tablespoon milk for egg wash

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a large bowl, combine the cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, and almond extract.
  • Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the cherries to release their juices.
  • Roll out one pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish.
  • Pour the cherry mixture into the pie crust, and dot with small pieces of butter.
  • Roll out the second pie crust and cut into strips for a lattice top or place it whole on top.
  • Trim and crimp the edges of the crust to seal.
  • Mix the egg and milk for an egg wash, and brush it over the crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cherries are bubbling.
  • Let the pie cool before slicing and serving.
