Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- For the crust, combine flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Add cold butter and pulse until pea-sized crumbs form. Mix in ice-cold water until dough comes together. Roll out into a circle and fit into a pie dish; chill.
- In a bowl, mix cherry filling ingredients: cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, almond extract, and salt.
