Easy Cheery pie : from the diner

Happy National Pie Day!

2 Pre pared Pie Crust
2 cans Cherry pie filling
1 teaspoon almond extract
Milk
Sugar

Preheat oven to 425.
Place one pie crust in a deep dish pie plate. Allow your little helper to use her fingers to press it into the bottom, sides, and especially the corners of the plate
Open the cans of pie filling and scrape it into the pie plate. Add the almond extract and mix it with the cherries and juice. Smooth it all out with a spatula.
Carefully lay the second pie crust on top of the pie filling, and press the edges together.Make slits in pie top

Brush the top crust with milk and sprinkle with sugar. This is just to make it pretty and not at all necessary.
Bake until the crust is golden brown, about 40-45 minutes. After the first 15 minutes, cover the outer edge of the pie with aluminum foil or a pie shield to make sure it doesn’t get too brown
