3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

1 package (15 ounces) refrigerated pie pastry
2 tablespoons butter
1 egg
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients., Line a 9-in. pie plate with bottom crust; trim pastry even with edge. Fill with fruit mixture and dot with butter. Make a lattice crust with remaining pastry. Trim, seal and flute edges. Beat egg and water; brush over lattice top., Bake at 400° for 45-55 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cover edges with foil during the last 20 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary. Cool on a wire rack.
