Tips for the Best Cherry Pie
Use Cold Butter
Cold butter creates flaky layers in the crust.
Don’t Skip Cooling
Cutting too soon can cause the filling to run.
Add Almond Extract
A small amount enhances the cherry flavor beautifully.
Protect the Edges
Use foil or a pie shield if the crust browns too quickly.
Variations

Use tart cherries and increase sugar to 1 cup.
Cherry Berry Pie

Crumb-Topped Cherry Pie
Replace the top crust with a buttery streusel topping.
Chocolate Cherry Pie
