How to Make Cherry Pie With Lemon And Almonds

  1. Prepare your bottom pie crust (using your favorite recipe or store-bought).
  2. Evenly sprinkle 1/4 cup sliced almonds and the zest of 1 lemon over the bottom crust.
  3. **Prepare the Cherry Filling:**
  4. In a large bowl, gently combine 2 (15 ounce) cans cherry pie filling, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
  5. Carefully spoon the cherry filling into the prepared pie shell.
  6. Place the top pie crust over the filling.
  7. Crimp and seal the edges, creating a decorative edge. Cut several steam vents in the top crust.
  8. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
  9. **For a glossy crust (optional):** Whisk together 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon of milk. Brush the mixture over the top crust.
  10. Bake at 435°F (225°C) for 15 minutes.
  11. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  12. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
