Two prepared 9-inch crusts, unbaked, for top and bottom crust (I use Pillsbury ready made crust - red box)
6 c. pitted unsweetened cherries
1/2 c. unbleached all-purpose white flour
4 drops of almond extract
1-1/3 c. white sugar
1/2 t. cinnamon
2 Tbls. butter
If using a ready-made crust, unroll 1 pie crust and roll out a bit to fit your pie plate. Place in pie plate.
Mix all filling ingredients and let stand for about 30 minutes; pour into pie crust and dot with butter.
Cover top with second crust (unroll and roll out a bit to fit) and seal edges.
Bake at 400 degrees for 50-60 minutes.
