Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups cherries (pitted; fresh or canned)
  • 1 cup sugar (adjust based on cherry sweetness)
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch (for thickening)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract (optional for extra flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (to balance sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (to dot on top of filling)
  • 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the pitted cherries, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, almond extract, and lemon juice. Stir until well mixed.
  2. Lay the pie crust in the bottom of your slow cooker. Gently press it down so it covers the bottom.
  3. Pour the cherry mixture into the crust and spread it evenly. Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
  4. Place a clean kitchen towel over the slow cooker before putting on the lid. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours until the filling is bubbling and the crust is set.
  5. Once cooked, carefully remove the pie from the slow cooker (the crust will be soft, so handle with care), and let it cool for at least 15 minutes.
  6. Slice and serve warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!

Notes

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Cherry pie can be frozen for up to two months.
