🥗Healthier: whole wheat crust

Whole wheat crust increases fiber content.

Mix together 3 cups of thawed frozen sweet cherries, 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 8 tablespoons corn starch, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract until combined.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Prepare a 9-inch pie crust and bake it for 5 minutes at 350 degrees.

Spread the cherry filling evenly in the pie shell.

Roll out the top pie crust between two pieces of wax paper, then flip it over onto the pie.

Cut off any overhanging crust from the edges of the pie.

Seal the edges of the pie by pinching them together with your fingers.

Cut air vents in the top crust using a ruler and a toothpick to prevent the crust from doming.

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of white sugar on top of the pie before baking.

Bake the pie uncovered in the oven at 350 degrees for approximately 55 minutes.
