Cherry Crumb Pie
Cherry Crumb Pie, a summer dessert made with fresh cherries and a homemade buttery, crumbly golden crust. It has a hint of almond extract which adds a fantastic flavour to an already delicious dessert. Super easy to whip up, a big hit every single time. The fresh cherries can be replaced with sour cherries or frozen cherries or any other berries that are in season.

For the crust
- 375 g plain flour
- 250 g Soften butter
- 100 g sugar
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- a pinch of salt
For the filling
- 350 g pitted cherries
- 3 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornflour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit).
- To make the crust, beat the soften butter with the sugar for 1-2 minutes using an electric mixer - you should have a light, fluffy texture.
- Add the almond extract, flour and salt, and use you hands to rub all the ingredients together until you get crumbs.
- Use half of the crumbs to add to a pie or quiche dish - pressing the crumbs down and up the sides well to create a uniform crust.
- Cover the crust with kitchen foil, and fill the dish with baking beans or dry pulses.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, remove the foil and beans, and bake for a further 10 minutes until the crust is golden.
- In a large bowl, mix the pitted cherries with the sugar and cornflour, then add them to the baked crust.
- Scatter the remaining crumbs all over the cherries, and bake for a further 20-25 minutes until the top with golden.
- Allow the pie with cool before slicing it.
- Serve it with custard, cream or just on its own.

- Do use proper ripen cherries, they will be naturally sweet, so there will be no need to add tons of refined sugar. Plus, they taste better, thus creating a much better, tastier cherry pie with crumb topping.
- The almond extract will make the difference between an ok dessert, and a scrumptious dessert. It's strong enough to give a unique flavour that comes through beautifully in every single bite, and pairs nicely with the cherries. So, I highly recommend using it!
