1 (9 inch) prepared pastry for a single-crust pie
Filling:
4 cups fresh sour cherries, pitted
1 cup white sugar
4 tablespoons cornstarch, or more as needed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
Crumb Topping:
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup rolled oats, or more to taste
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, cut into small cubes

1
Line the bottom of an oven with aluminum foil to catch spills. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 9-inch square baking dish with the pie crust.
2
Place cherries in a bowl. Let sit in the refrigerator for about 4 hours until juices start to come out. Gently press down on top of the cherries to release juice. Pour off 3/4 cup juice, reserving cherries in the bowl.
3
Pour juice into a small saucepan over medium heat. Mix sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon together. Stir mixture into the juice before it starts to steam. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and keep stirring until mixture starts to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in vanilla and almond extracts.
4
Pour juice mixture into the bowl with the cherries; stir until combined. Pour mixture into the prepared crust.
5
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes while preparing the crumb topping.
6
Mix brown sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in butter pieces with a fork until they're the size of small peas.
7
Remove cherry pie from the oven. Top with the crumb topping and bake for an additional 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cut a small hole in the center to help vent. Let cool, at least 1 hour. Serve warm.
