Whenever my mom is invited to a party or potluck, everyone requests her homemade double-crust fruit pies. In the summer, she uses fresh, tart cherries for this recipe. I love a slice topped with vanilla ice cream. â Pamela Eaton, Monclova, Ohio Ingredients:
1-1/3 cups sugar |
1/3 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
4 cups fresh or frozen pitted tart cherries, thawed and drained |
1/4 teaspoon almond extract |
pastry for double-crust pie (9 inches) |
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, combine sugar and flour; stir in cherries and extract.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll one half of the pastry dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim pastry to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate. Add filling; dot with butter.
3. Roll remaining dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; cut into 1-1/2-in.-wide strips. Arrange over filling in a lattice pattern. Trim and seal strips to edge of bottom pastry; flute edge. Cover edge loosely with foil.
4. Bake 40-50 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Remove foil. Cool on a wire rack. Yield: 8 servings.
