National Cherry Pie Day | Almond Cherry Pie

Ah, National Cherry Pie Day. The all-American treat, right? When I think of cherry pies, I think of 4th of July parties by a lake with red, white and blue decor, thick green grass you love walking barefoot in, potato salad and BBQ ribs. Mmm, I’m getting hungry…

Today I’m sharing a cherry pie, of course, but with a slight twist that I think you’ll really enjoy.

I’ve confessed my love for almond before, and I thought almond and cherry would go so well together. With just a couple of drops, it turned this pie into something even more delicious.

My intention was to create a pattern on the top of the pie with the slivered almonds, but I got lazy. Such things will happen when you are dreaming about backyard barbecues.

I haven’t had a cherry pie in soooo long… I think I might try this, but use amaretto in place of the almond extract…

Sounds like a winner of a recipe to me. I bet this pie didn’t last long at your house.
