For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season cherries. If you prefer a less sweet pie, you can reduce the amount of sugar by 1/4 cup. A lattice crust is a beautiful alternative to a full top crust. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream for an extra special treat. For a deeper flavor, consider using a combination of sweet and tart cherries.

Oct 3, 2024I made this pie for a summer barbecue, and it was a huge hit! Everyone raved about it. The almond extract adds a lovely touch.

Apr 21, 2022I've made many cherry pies over the years, and this is by far the best! The tapioca really helps to thicken the filling without making it gummy.
