How to Make Easy Fresh Cherry Pie

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss the cherries with the sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and almond extract. Let it sit for 15 minutes to allow the cherries to release their juices and the cornstarch to thicken slightly.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crust to a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate.
  4. Pour the cherry mixture into the pie crust.
  5. Roll out the second pie crust and either place it over the filling or cut it into strips for a lattice top. Crimp the edges to seal.
  6. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  7. Bake for 70 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
  8. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
