How To Make Cherry Pie

Cherry pie is an American classic that’s beloved in North America and Europe, consisting of a pie crust that’s filled with cherries and topped with a lattice crust or regular pie crust top. 

Morello cherries are most commonly used, but the pie can also be prepared with other types such as black cherries.Once baked, cherry pie is traditionally served with a cloud of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream on the side.

4 cups fresh or frozen tart cherries

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

4 tablespoons cornstarch

1/8 tablespoon almond extract (optional)

Your favorite pie crust

1 1/2 tablespoons butter, to dot

1 tablespoon granulated sugar, to sprinkle

DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE CHERRY PIE

Pour cherries in medium saucepan and place over heat. Cover. After the cherries lose considerable juice, which may take a few minutes, remove from heat. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cornstarch together. Pour this mixture into the hot cherrie.

Add the almond extract, if desired, and mix. Return the mixture to the stove and cook over low heat until thickened, stirring frequently.
