Prep Time

20 min

Ingredients

1. 1 1/3 Cups Granulated Sugar
2. 1/3 Cup Flour
3. 2 Cans Tart Cherries (not pie filling), drained.
4. 1/4 Teaspoon Almond Extract
5. 2 Tablespoons Butter
6. Optional: Red Food Coloring
7. Decorative, Coarse, Sanding or Turbinado Sugar

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and gently fold together.
2. Pour into pie shell, cover with top crust, cut crust to vent or lattice.
3. Bake at 425 degrees for 30-40 minutes.

Notes

1. The secret to this pie is the tart cherries and the almond extract. It does not need the red food coloring, that is purely optional and we do not use it. We do occasionally dust with decorative sugar. Serve with homemade whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
