Steps:
- For the pie dough: Into the bowl of a food processor, add the all-purpose flour, almond flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon and salt. Pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the dough becomes crumbly. Add the ice water 1 tablespoon at a time and pulse after each addition until the dough holds together but isn't wet. (Add additional tablespoons of water as needed.) Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and form into a disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 12-by-1-inch pizza or tart pan with a removable bottom.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Flour a rolling pin and work surface. Roll the pie dough, starting from the center and working outward, into a 14-inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick. Lay the dough in the prepared pan and press it into the bottom and sides. Fold the excess dough inward and crimp. Dock the dough with a fork.
- Put a piece of parchment paper on top of the dough and weigh it down with pie weights, a butter knife or dried beans. Blind-bake on the center rack of the oven until the crust is pale golden and just firm, about 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- For the cheesecake filling: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, granulated sugar, eggs and lemon zest and juice. Pour into the cooled pie crust and spread evenly with an offset spatula.
- Bake until the cheesecake is set and the middle barely jiggles, 50 to 60 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- For the cherry compote: Combine the cherries with their juices, granulated sugar, vanilla bean and lemon zest and juice in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the compote is thickened and syrupy, about 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
- Pour the compote over the cooled cheesecake filling, and spread evenly over the top.
- For the whipped cream: In a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer or whisk, or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and lemon zest until medium to firm peaks form.
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, toast the almonds, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- To serve the cheesecake pizza pie, top each slice with whipped cream and toasted almonds. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Put the can of pie filling in the refrigerator to chill until needed. Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease or spray a pizza pan. Stretch out dough to cover the pan, folding any excess over the top edge. Sprinkle dough with 2 teaspoons of sugar. Set aside. In a mixing bowl and using a mixer, beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, and egg until smooth and creamy. Spread the mixture evenly over the pizza dough but not all the way to the edges. Bake for 25 minutes or until the filling is set and crust is lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes. (I slid it out of the pan onto a large rack to cool then slid it back into the pan). Top with the chilled pie filling leaving a space around the edges. Cut into wedges to serve. Refrigerate any leftovers.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh cherries. If using frozen cherries, thaw them completely before using.
- To prevent the cheesecake filling from curdling, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients.
- Do not overmix the cheesecake filling. Overmixing can cause the filling to become dense and grainy.
- Bake the cheesecake pizza in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the crust is cooked evenly.
- Let the cheesecake pizza cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the filling from becoming runny.

With its creamy cheesecake filling, sweet cherry topping, and flaky crust, this pizza is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
