Ingredients
  1. Basic Piecrust (see preceding recipe)
  2. 3 (10-ounce) bags frozen cherries, thawed
  3. 11/2 cups plus 2 teaspoons sugar, divided
  4. 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  5. 1 teaspoon almond extract
  6. 1/4 cup tapioca flour
  7. 2 tablespoons cold water
  8. 2 tablespoons cornstarch, sifted
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°. On a lightly floured surface, roll half of dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut a 10-inch round from dough. Place round in bottom and up sides of an 8-inch pie pan; set aside.
  2. Roll remaining dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 3/4x9-inch strips; set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine cherries, 11/2 cups sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes. Sift tapioca flour over mixture, and stir to combine.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together water and cornstarch. Add to cherry mixture. Continue to cook over medium heat until mixture boils and is thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool slightly.
  5. Spoon mixture into prepared pie pan. Layer strips of dough, in a lattice fashion, onto cherry mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 2 teaspoons sugar. Bake until mixture is bubbly and crust is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool slightly. Serve warm. Pie can be stored, refrigerated, in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
