MACAROON CHERRY PIE



Macaroon Cherry Pie image

I use homegrown cherries in this bountiful pie with its unique crunchy coconut topping. But I've found that purchased tart cherries yield a dessert that's nearly as delicious. I always bake this pie around Presidents Day or Valentine's Day, but it's popular with my family in any season. -Lori Daniels, Beverly, West Virginia
