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

This is the worst pie I've ever had. I will never make it again.

I wasn't sure about the combination of macaroons and cherries, but I was pleasantly surprised. The flavors worked really well together.

This pie was absolutely delicious! The crust was flaky and the filling was sweet and tart. I loved the addition of the macaroons, which added a nice chewy texture.
