1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
4 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
4 cups pitted cherries
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 tablespoons butter Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Place bottom crust in piepan. Set top crust aside, covered.
In a large mixing bowl combine tapioca, salt, sugar, cherries and extracts. Let stand 15 minutes. Turn out into bottom crust and dot with butter. Cover with top crust, flute edges and cut vents in top. Place pie on a foil lined cookie sheet --- in case of drips!
Bake for 50 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown.
Use real sour cherries for the ultimate best pie.
Mix about seven cups of pitted sour cherries with one cup of sugar, one tablespoon instant tapioca and a teaspoon of almond extract. Spoon this into a pie crust. Put another pie crust on top. (Use frozen crusts.) Bake at 450 for 15 min. then at 350 for 25-30 min.
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cups crisco
dash of salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/3 +++=cup cold water
mix dry ingredients first, add in crisco and mix well until crumbly
add in the cold water and mix well with fork or spoon, it should be a bit sticky..
divide in halp.
flour a board and put one piece on the board
dust flour over the top and roll in one direction,
do not go back and forth, flip the dough over and roll again trying to keep in a roundish pattern.
do not roll out too thin......do not stretch the dough to fit... make sure it is fitted into all corners of the pan
put in pie pan so that the edges of pie dough hand over .
take some warm water and dab your finger in it and wet lightly the edge of the dough where it will meet with the other crust....this is so they stick well together.
then add in your cherry pie filling, top with the second crust. pinch or use a fork to bond the top and bottom crust together... there will be an over hang.
take a sharp knife and go around the edge of the pie pan and put off the excess.
cut slits in the top of the dough... and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp sugar.
Bake a t 450 for 10 minn then reduce heat to 350 for 20-30 min, the crust should be light brown and the mixture bubbling through the slits when done.
take out and cool completely before cutting....
if you have canned pitted cherries and not a pie fill warm the the cherries and the liquid over med heat.(10 min)
add 3 tsp cornstarch to 1/2 cup water and 1/4 tsp almond extract if you have it and shake in a container.... add slowly to the heated cherries and liquid cook until thick. remove from heat and put in uncooked pie shell.
bake as above
