Ingredients
- 2 pounds frozen cherries thawed completely
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 pie crusts
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon cold water
- Coarse or granulated sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss 2 pounds frozen cherries with 1 cup white granulated sugar, ¼ cup cornstarch, 1 teaspoon lime juice, ½ teaspoon almond extract, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside to prepare the crust.
- Prepare the crust: Roll out the bottom crust onto a floured surface, then transfer to your pie pan. Fill with the cherry filling. Arrange the top crust as a lattice, crimping the edges of the pie together.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon cold water, then brush the top of the pie with the egg wash. Sprinkle with Coarse or granulated sugar.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet, and bake for 15 minutes.
- Reduce the oven heat to 375°F, and bake for 50-55 minutes more, covering the edges if they start to brown too quickly. The pie is done when the crust is golden brown and the pie filling is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven, and allow the pie to cool for at least 4 hours before slicing.
Notes
- You can use vanilla extract in place of the almond extract, if desired.
- The coarse sugar is optional, but it adds a great texture to the top of the pie!
