Cherry Pie

Submitted by Emily Williams

 

Pre-heat oven 425

 

5 cups pitted cherries

½-3/4 cup sugar

3 tbls tapioca

2 tbls water

1 tbls lemon or lime juice

¼ tsp almond extract

Mix all together and let sit for 15 minutes

 

Pie Crust

1 ½ cups flour

½ cup butter flavored Crisco

½ tsp salt

3-4 tbls cold water

 

cut Crisco into flour and salt

when like small beads add water a tbls at a time and mix with fork

When can stick together in ball(not too sticky just barely holding together)

Roll out on floured surface.

This is for one layer but I split it in two—I like thin crust

 

Make bottom crust layer and place in 9 in pie plate

Empty cherry mixture into pie

Take 2 tbls butter cut into very small squares and spread over cherries

Cover with crust-either lattice or entire with air holds cut into top

Bake for 30 min

Turn temp down to 350 and bake another 25-30 min until bubbling!!

Yummy pie!!
