This delicious pie filling makes the best cherry pie. It's also a great recipe if you have a helper. If any juice bubbles over, it tastes really good on top of ice cream.

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

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  2. Place bottom pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan; prick bottom with a fork.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until crust lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Let crust cool 5 minutes.

  4. Combine cherries, sugar, cornstarch, and almond extract together in a bowl; pour into the par-baked crust and dot with butter. Cover with top crust, crimp edges to seal; cut vents into the top with a sharp knife. Place pie on the prepared baking sheet.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. If pie browning too fast cover with an aluminum foil tent. Continue baking until crust is golden brown and filling bubbly, 10 to 20 minutes more. Let cool on a wire rack, about 15 minutes.
