Prepare Cherry Filling:
- In a saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. The amount of sugar can vary based on the sweetness of the cherries and your preference, ranging from 1/4 to 1 cup.
- Add the sweet cherries and almond-flavored liqueur to the saucepan.
-
Cook Filling:
- Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens into a luscious filling.
-
Prepare Pie Crust:
- Spoon the cherry filling into pre-baked pie shells, spreading it evenly.
-
Make Topping:
- In a separate bowl, combine flour and sugar.
- Using a pastry cutter, blend in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Stir in the flaked coconut to add a delicious crunch to the topping.
-
Assemble and Bake:
- Sprinkle the prepared topping over the cherry filling, ensuring to cover the entire surface and leaving about 2 inches from the center.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the pie for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the coconut topping turns golden brown and toasted.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Allow the Cherry Almond Pie to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
- Serve it warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat!
Recipe Notes:
- You can adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste preferences and the sweetness of the cherries.
- For a nuttier flavor, you can sprinkle sliced almonds on top of the pie before baking.
- Make sure to fully pre-bake the pie crust before adding the cherry filling to ensure a crisp and flaky crust.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, although it’s so delicious, it’s unlikely to last that long! 🍴😋
