INGREDIENTS

  • Crust

    • 2 (15 ounce) packages double crust ready-to-use pie crust

  • Filling

    • 2 pounds sour cherries, pitted
    • 🧂 1 cup white sugar
    • 🧂 2 tablespoons white sugar
    • 3 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
    • 🧈 1 tablespoon butter
    • ¼ teaspoon almond extract

STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Press the bottom pie crusts into 2 pie pans.

2

Combine cherries, 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan. Let sit until sugar begins to draw out the cherries' juices, about 10 minutes.

3

Bring to boil, stirring constantly. Lower the heat; simmer until the juices thicken and become translucent, about 5 minutes.

4

Remove from heat; stir in butter and almond extract until well mixed.

5

Pour into the bottom half of the pie shells. Cover with top crusts, crimp the edges to seal, and cut vents into the top with a sharp knife.

6

Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, 45 to 55 minutes.
