Ingredients

2 9-inch unbaked pie crusts

4 cups fresh or frozen pitted cherries

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup cornstarch

1 teaspoon almond extract

2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces

1 egg white, lightly beaten with 1 tablespoon of water

Directions

Combine pitted cherries, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and tapioca starch in a large bowl, folding with a flexible spatula until well combined. Scrape into prepared pie shell and top with remaining dough, using a solid sheet, cutouts, or a lattice-top design. Trim away excess dough and refrigerate pie to ensure top crust is completely chilled, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat to 400 degrees F.
