Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
• 1 (15 ounce) package double crust ready-to-use pie crust
• 3 (15 ounce) cans pitted sour cherries, drained
• 1.5 cups white sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon almond extract

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Press one pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate.

Step 3

Combine cherries, sugar, tapioca, and almond extract in a bowl; let stand 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, cut second pie crust into 1/2-inch lattice strips. Pour cherry filling into pie shell. Start with the longest crust strips and lay the first 2 in an X in the center of the pie. Alternate horizontal and vertical strips, weaving them in an over-and-under pattern. Use the shortest strips for the edges of the lattice. Fold the ends of the lattice strips under the edge of the bottom crust and pinch to seal.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool before serving.
