Delicious Homemade Cherry Pie Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 (15 ounce) package double crust ready-to-use pie crust
• 3 cups cherries, pitted
• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoon almond extract
• 2 tablespoons salted butter, cut into bits

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
2. Place the bottom pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan; prick the bottom with a fork to prevent it from puffing up.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is lightly browned, approximately 8 minutes. Allow the crust to cool for 5 minutes before adding the filling.
4. In a bowl, combine the cherries, sugar, cornstarch, and almond extract; pour the mixture into the par-baked crust and dot with butter. Cover with the top crust, crimp the edges to seal, and cut vents into the top with a sharp knife. Place the pie on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. If the pie crust is browning too quickly, cover it with an aluminum foil tent. Continue baking until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, about 10 to 20 minutes more. Let the pie cool on a wire rack for approximately 15 minutes before serving.
