Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) package double crust ready-to-use pie crust
3 (15 ounce) cans pitted sour cherries, drained
1.5 cups white sugar
3 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
0.25 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Place one pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate and gently press it in.
In a bowl, mix the cherries, sugar, tapioca, and almond extract. Let the mixture sit for 3 to 5 minutes.
Using a sharp knife or pastry wheel, cut the second pie crust into ½-inch lattice strips. Pour the cherry filling into the prepared pie shell. Lightly moisten the edge of the pie with water. Arrange the longest lattice strips in an X shape in the center. Weave the remaining strips in an alternating over-and-under pattern, using the shortest strips for the edges. Fold the ends of the lattice strips under the bottom crust's edge and pinch to create a seal.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the crust turns a beautiful golden brown. Allow the pie to cool completely before serving.
