Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Washington Cherry Pie.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a warm 425°F (220°C). This will ensure your pie bakes evenly and gets that perfect golden crust. While the oven warms up, grab a mixing bowl and combine the pitted cherries, cherry juice, almond extract, brown sugar, white sugar, and flour. Stir gently until the sugars dissolve and the mixture is well combined. Let this sit for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully while you prepare your pastry dough.
Step 2
Next, take your pastry and line a 9-inch pie dish, making sure it covers the bottom and sides well. Pour the luscious cherry filling into the crust, and don’t forget to sprinkle those small chunks of butter on top for added richness. Now, it’s time to cover your pie with the remaining pastry. Crimp the edges to seal in all that deliciousness, and make a few steam vents in the top crust with a sharp knife to let the steam escape during baking.
Step 3
Place your pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the cherry filling is bubbling and thickened, and the crust is beautifully browned. Once it’s done, allow your pie to cool before serving. This cooling time is crucial as it helps the filling set up perfectly, making each slice a delight to serve.
