Ingredients
- 2 homemade or store bought pie crusts
- 4 Cups fresh or frozen sour cherries and their juice pitted
- 1 Cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 Tablespoon water
Instructions
- Add the pitted cherries, sugar, and cornstarch to a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves and thickens, stirring constantly. Once nice and thick, remove from the heat and stir in almond extract, lemon juice, and butter. Allow cooling completely.
- When the filling is cooled, preheat the oven to 400°. Press one pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan. Pour the filling in the pie crust and top with the second crust, crimping the edges together and making sure there is a vent for steam to escape. Mix the egg yolk and water together to make the egg wash. Brush the egg wash evenly over the top crust and bake for 45-50 minutes, until the filling is bubbling and the crust is nice and golden brown. Cool completely before serving.
