Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) package double crust ready-to-use pie crust
4 cups Bing cherries, pitted and sliced
1 cup white sugar
0.25 cup instant tapioca
2 tablespoons lemon juice
0.25 teaspoon almond extract
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Gently press one pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate.
In a bowl, combine Bing cherries, sugar, tapioca, fresh lemon juice, and almond extract. Refrigerate this mixture until the cherry filling begins to thicken, approximately 10 minutes. Stir the filling well, then chill again for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Carefully pour the cherry filling into the bottom pie crust in the pie plate. Dot the top of the filling evenly with butter. Cover with the remaining pie crust and crimp the edges to create a seal. Use a sharp knife to cut several ventilation slits into the top crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then rotate the pie a quarter turn. Continue baking until the crust is a beautiful golden brown, about 20 minutes more.
