Sour Cherry Pie
Ingredients
  • 2 (15 ounce) packages double crust ready-to-use pie crust
  • 2 pounds sour cherries, pitted
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
1
Firstly, preheat your oven to the optimal temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit or 190 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take the bottom pie crusts and press them firmly into two separate pie pans to create a solid foundation for your dessert.
3
Then, combine the cherries with 1 cup and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a saucepan. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes, during which time the sugar will start to draw out the juices from the cherries.
4
After 10 minutes, bring the mixture to a boil while stirring constantly. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for approximately 5 minutes, or until the juices have thickened and become translucent.
5
Remove the saucepan from the heat source and stir in 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 teaspoon of almond extract until everything is well combined.
6
Now, pour the cherry mixture into the bottom half of your pie shells. Cover with the top crusts and crimp the edges to seal them tightly. Use a sharp knife to cut small vents into the top crust, allowing steam to escape during baking.
7
Finally, bake your pie in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and delicious.
