Ingredients

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

3 cups fresh cherries, pitted

0.75 cup white sugar

3 tbsp cornstarch

0.25 tsp almond extract

2 tbsp salted butter, cut into bits

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Place bottom pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan. Prick bottom with a fork. Bake until crust is lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.

In a bowl, combine cherries, sugar, cornstarch, and almond extract. Pour cherry mixture into the par-baked crust. Dot with butter bits.

Top with the second pie crust. Crimp edges to seal. Cut vents into the top with a sharp knife. Place pie on prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 30 minutes. If the pie browns too quickly, cover with foil. Continue baking until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 10 to 20 minutes more.

Let the pie cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes before serving.
