In a large bowl add pie filling, fresh lemon juice and zest, thawed and drained cherries, maple syrup, almond extract, and nutmeg. Stir the cherry mixture until combined.
Serve with your favorite cheesecake recipes.

Store leftover pie filling in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
You can also freeze pie filling in a freezer safe container.

Thaw and drain the frozen cherries before adding them to the pie filling mixture.

Go easy with the almond extract. ¼ teaspoon is really all you need.

Use fresh lemon juice, not bottled.
