Almond Crusted Cherry Cream Pie
"This is my dad's favorite pie. It's pretty easy to prepare. If you don't feel like mixing a pie crust/making your own you can buy a store bought one and just press the almonds into the crust. It is extremely rich and yummy! I don't even like cherries and I love this pie!
Cook time is chill time.
For the crust I usually use Recipe #51537 and just grind the almonds up and mix them in with the dry ingredients... This has seemed to work really well for me"

My mother made this same recipe and it was my absolute favorite pie growing up. I now make it for my girls and it gets requested on a regular basis. -
I've made a very similar pie for over 50 years. Found the recipe in the newspaper magazine when I was a teenager and it's been a family favorite ever since. The recipe I used is slightly different since you used canned cherries, not cherry pie filling. It's definitely A favorite at Christmas and Thanksgiving
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm 20, and love, love, LOVE to bake and cook. If I weren't so afraid of no longer enjoying it if it were my job, I'd become a chef or open a bakery or something. I'm going to college (taking this year off because I got married) and majoring in biochemistry and forensics, so I can become a CSI. I haven't decided what I'm minoring in, but probably psychology and one or more languages.
You may notice that all of the recipes I've reviewed have 4 or 5 stars. That's because I generally won't rate things that I or my family didn't like or didn't turn out well unless I can think of a way to improve it or did something to make it better (in my opinion).
I just got married and I LOVE it!
To me there's almost nothing more satisfying than seeing people eating and enjoying what I've made for them!^_^
