Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe cherries. This will give your pie the best flavor.
- Pit the cherries before using them. You can use a cherry pitter or a paring knife to do this.
- Add a little lemon juice to the cherries. This will help to brighten the flavor of the pie.
- Use a combination of all-purpose flour and almond flour in the crust. This will give the crust a nice texture and flavor.

- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This usually takes about 45-50 minutes.
