This scrumptious fresh cherry dessert recipe is sweet but oh-so-delicious. When you yearn for a fresh fruit pie, pull out the BIG guns with this Cherry Pie! Ingredients:
1 standard pie crust |
5 cups whole fresh bing cherries, pitted |
1 cup sugar |
3 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca |
2 tablespoons brandy |
1 teaspoon almond extract |
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon rind |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
2/3 cup softened butter |
1 cup sugar |
1 1/2 cups flour |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine cherries, sugar, tapioca, brandy, almond extract, lemon rind, and cinnamon. Stir until well combined.
2. Let mixture sit for 25 minutes. The cherries will release some of their juices and the tapioca will soften.
3. Make the crumble topping by combining flour and sugar in a medium sized bowl. With your hands mix in butter until nice and crumbly.
4. Pour pie filling into crust. Top with crumble topping.
5. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. Then cover with foil and bake an additional twenty minutes.
6. Let cool slightly before serving.
