½ cupsugar

¼ cupflour

lemon juice

almond extract

cinnamon

1 Tbspbutter

1egg white

Crumb topping
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees with a cookie sheet inside so that it gets hot for the pie to bake on.
Step 2
Roll the bottom crust into a pie pan (use a premade or homemade crust). Pre-bake crust for 5-6 minutes.
Step 3
Drop 1 tbsp butter into a saucepan and add sugar, flour, a squeeze of lemon, a few drops of almond extract and a touch of cinnamon. Cook until it thickens a bit.
Step 4
Gently fold mixture into the cherries (without breaking them).
Step 5
Let the filling cool before you put it in the pie shell to bake it…. Important! .
Step 6
Brush your pie crust with egg white wash and pour your cooled cherry mixture into the shell.
Step 7
Make the crumb topping. This should be blended with a fork or pastry blender, not the food processor. Mix into a crumble and sprinkle on top of the pie filling.
Step 8
Bake on the hot cookie sheet for 40-50 minutes.
