Sugar Topped Cherry Pie Recipes

CHERRY PIE WITH CRUMB TOPPING RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 F. If your cherries are frozen, be sure to completely thaw and drain off most of the liquid. A little left behind is ok, but you want barely any.
• Add the cherries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice to a medium saucepan. Cook over low heat, gently stirring, until the cornstarch and sugar dissolves, and the mixture is thick. Do not over-stir, or it will break up the cherries. Remove from the heat, stir in the vanilla and almond extracts and set aside.
• Roll out your pie crust until it is about 1-inch wider than your pie plate .
• Place the pie crust into the pie plate and crimp the edges.
• Gather your ingredients.
• Melt the butter.
• Stir the brown sugar, flour, vanilla extract, and cinnamon into the melted butter. Keep stirring until soft crumbs form.
• Pour the cherry pie filling into the prepared crust.
• Top with the crumb mixture, breaking up into pea sized balls as you sprinkle over the top.
• Bake until the crumb topping is browned and the filling is bubbling, 50 to 60 minutes. Check on the pie while it cooks and if the top becomes too brown, cover with aluminum foil for the remaining cooking time.
• Let cool for 15 minutes to allow the juices to gel together. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy!
