Steps:

• Set oven to 425 degrees.
• Prepare a glass 8-inch pie plate.
• Roll out one pastry into about a 9-1/2-inch circle.
• Gently fit into bottom of the pie plate.
• In a bowl combine the well-drained cherries, 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch and tapioca; toss gently to combine.
• Spoon the cherry mixture into the pie crust.
• Top with remaining pastry.
• Press edges of bottom and top pastry together, then trim and flute.
• Cut a couple of steam vents in the top pastry.
• Brush the top of the crust with half and half cream, then sprinkle with 2-3 teaspoons sugar.
• Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch spills.
• Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes.
• Reduce heat to 375 degrees, continue to bake for about 45-50 minutes longer or until crust is golden and the pie is bubbly (cover edges with foil if necessary to prevent browning).
• Cool pie on a rack, before slicing.

Steps:

• Place cherries in medium saucepan and place over heat. Cover. After the cherries lose considerable juice, which may take a few minutes, remove from heat. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cornstarch together. Pour this mixture into the hot cherries and mix well. Add the almond extract, if desired, and mix. Return the mixture to the stove and cook over low heat until thickened, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat and let cool. If the filling is too thick, add a little water, too thin, add a little more cornstarch.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Use your favorite pie dough recipe. Prepare your crust. Divide in half. Roll out each piece large enough to fit into an 8 to 9-inch pan. Pour cooled cherry mixture into the crust. Dot with butter. Moisten edge of bottom crust. Place top crust on and flute the edge of the pie. Make a slit in the middle of the crust for steam to escape. Sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake for about 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and place on a rack to cool.

• Dump mixture into a medium bowl; rub through clean fingertips to blend. Stir in water with a rubber spatula until dough clumps form. Press dough with your palm to form a ball, then divide in half. Wrap each half in plastic wrap, pressing to form thick disks. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
• Adjust oven rack to lowest position and place a pizza stone or four 9-inch quarry tiles (from a hardware store) on rack to form an 18-inch square. Preheat to 400 degrees.

Trim all around to 1/2-inch beyond lip of pie plate. Roll overhanging dough under with fingertips; flute.
