Old Fashioned Cherry Pie
Instructions
1. Prepare your pastry
See video Preparing Pie Crust from Marjorie's Candies
I like to prepare even the Lattice crust ahead, then I slide it on top of the filling and it is ready for the oven
Preheat oven to 425 F.
2. Combine the dry ingredients and add them to the drained cherries and gently toss the cherries.
3. Add the almond extract and gently toss the cherries again.
4. Pour the cherries into the pastry lined pie pan.
5. Dot the filling with the butter.
6. Slide the Lattice Pastry top over the filling.
7. Trim the over lapping dough with a scissor and turn the edges under.
8. Brush with egg white and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
9. Cover the edge of the pie with aluminum foil.
10. Bake for 45 minutes approx. until the fill begins to bubble and the crust is golden brown.
At about 1/2 hour remove the aluminum foil to allow the edges to brown.
Watch the pie after about 40 min.to be sure that it doesn't get to dark in areas.
