Cherry and Almond Pie

This cherry pie is mixed with chopped almonds and goes perfectly with vanilla ice cream.

March 14, Pi(e) Day! A great excuse for pie, don’t you think?

I had been wanting to make cherry pie since the summer. I never did get around to it but I made sure to freeze some cherries so that I could enjoy them later, as jam or in baking. Turns out Q is great at pitting cherries so I put him to work.

Cherries and almonds are always a great combination and I thought the baked cherries with chunky nuts would be great in a pie. I admire those people who make perfect looking pies. Mine are far from perfect, I’d say they are rustic. It’s all in the taste anyway, right?

I make the dough in a food processor. Anything that can make the job done easier. It makes the dough and chops the nuts, so it does double work. For the top of the pie, I was going to make a lattice but I was inspired by of Jo-anna’s beautiful pies from A Pretty Life.

Baked cherries are so delicious. This pie is perfect with some vanilla ice cream.
