Preheat the oven to 350°F. On the stove top in a heavy bottomed saucepan mix together the cherries with 1/3 cup sugar and 1 cup of water. Add the cornstarch.
Bring to a simmer then and cook for 10 minutes gently turning the cherries until coated and the sauce has thickened. Remove from the heat and add the almond extract.
Brush the skillet with melted butter. Dip the biscuits into the melted butter then dredge in the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Arrange biscuits side by side in the skillet.
Pour the remaining butter over the biscuits than spoon the cherries around the biscuits. Sprinkle the top with leftover sugar.
Place into the oven and bake for 35 minutes until the tops are puffy and golden and the biscuits are cooked through. Let the biscuits rest for 5 minutes.
Whisk together the powdered sugar glaze and drizzle over the warm biscuits.
Sprinkle toasted almonds on top.

- Can I Make my Own Biscuit Dough? Yes, of course! If you'd like to make your own biscuits for this cherry pie recipe checkout my recipe for Fluffy Southern Buttermilk Biscuits here.
- Canned Biscuits: You could adapt this recipe using canned biscuits i.e. Pillsbury Grand Biscuits or similar. Canned biscuit dough is very different in texture and flavor, if at all possible I recommend following the recipe for the best flavor.
- Pie Filling Variations: This dish can be made in many flavors by swapping out the pie filling. You could use strawberry pie filling, peach pie filling or blueberry pie filling.
- Flavoring: If you don't care for almond extract you could swap it out and use vanilla extract instead.
- Nuts: You could leave off the almonds or swap them out using pecans or walnuts.
