This pie was probably my best seller at work. Co-workers continued to slice away large chunks of this pie at a time until I only had one piece left to take home with me. This recipe is the perfect combination of tart and sweet. I was surprised that this recipe only had one minor difference compared to my basic Cherry Pie recipe: Almond Extract. I would love to remake this pie with a toasted almond crumble top to add more almondy flavor.
