Classic Fresh Cherry Pie
Ingredients
  • 1 (15 ounce) package double crust ready-to-use pie crust
  • 3 cups cherries, pitted
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter, cut into bits
Instructions
1
Firstly, preheat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil to make cleanup easier.
3
Now, place the bottom pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and use a fork to poke some holes in it. This will help the crust cook evenly.
4
After that, bake the pie crust in the preheated oven for about 8 minutes, or until it's lightly browned. Allow it to rest and cool down for a few minutes.
5
Then, mix together the cherries, sugar, cornstarch, and almond extract in a bowl. Pour this mixture into the pre-baked pie crust.
6
Dot the top of the filling with butter and cover it with the top pie crust. Crimp the edges together to seal the pie, then use a sharp knife to cut some vents in the top crust.
7
Place the pie on the prepared baking sheet and bake it in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
8
If the pie is browning too quickly, cover it with a piece of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Continue baking until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, which may take anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes more.
9
Finally, let the pie cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes before serving.
