Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 (15 ounce) package double crust ready-to-use pie crust

  • 4 cups Bing cherries, pitted and sliced

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • ¼ cup instant tapioca

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Press the bottom pie crust into a pie pan.

  2. Combine cherries, sugar, tapioca, lemon juice, and almond extract together in bowl. Refrigerate until cherry filling begins to set, about 10 minutes. Stir filling again; chill until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.

  3. Pour the filling into the bottom half of the pie crust; cover with top crust, crimp the edges to seal, and dot with butter. Cut vents into the top with a sharp knife.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes; rotate the pie 1/4 of a turn. Continue baking until the crust is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

If you like a juicy pie, reduce tapioca to 2 tablespoons.

For a beautifully brown crust, brush the top crust and edge with a whipped egg.
