Time 3h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup shortening, chilled
½ cup cold water
1 pinch salt
2 cups pitted sour cherries
1 ¼ cups white sugar
10 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon butter
¼ teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Cut the shortening into the flour and salt with the whisking blades of a stand mixer until the crumbs are pea-sized. Mix in cold water by hand just until the dough holds together.

  • Place the cherries, sugar, and cornstarch in a medium-sized non-aluminum saucepan. Allow the mixture to stand for 10 minutes, or until the sugar draws out the cherries' juices. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Lower the heat; simmer for 1 minute, or until the juices thicken and become translucent. Remove pan from heat, and stir in butter and almond extract. Allow the filling to cool to lukewarm. Pour the filling into the pie shell. Cover with top crust, crimp the edges to seal, and cut vents for steam.
  • Bake in a preheated 375 degree F (190 degree C) oven on the baking tray for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Allow to cool for several hours before slicing.

ALMOND CRUSTED CHERRY CREAM PIE



Almond Crusted Cherry Cream Pie image

This is my dad's favorite pie. It's pretty easy to prepare. If you don't feel like mixing a pie crust/making your own you can buy a store bought one and just press the almonds into the crust. It is extremely rich and yummy! I don't even like cherries and I love this pie! Cook time is chill time. For the crust I usually use Recipe #51537 and just grind the almonds up and mix them in with the dry ingredients... This has seemed to work really well for me
