Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (560–660g) fresh sweet cherries, pitted and halved
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, cut into 6 pieces
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk (nondairy is fine)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • Coarse sugar for sprinkling (optional: 1–2 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Place the butter in a deep-dish 9-inch pie dish and melt it in the oven.
  2. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Add the milk, vanilla, and almond extract (if using) to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth.
  4. Spread the cherries evenly over the melted butter in the dish.
  5. Pour the batter evenly over the cherries and sprinkle coarse sugar if desired.
  6. Bake for 55–60 minutes until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  7. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For the best flavor, serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
