Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled
  • 6–8 tbsp ice water
  • 4 cups fresh cherries, pitted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract

Instructions

  1. Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter until crumbly.
  2. Add ice water, 1 tbsp at a time, until dough forms. Divide into two discs and chill for 1 hour.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  8. Cool completely before slicing.

Notes
