Nothing beats a homemade cherry pie fresh from the oven, and this recipe is surprisingly simple to put together. With just 30 minutes of prep work, you'll have a beautiful dessert ready for baking. I love using fresh cherries because they're packed with antioxidants that make this indulgent treat feel a little bit healthier. The quick cooking tapioca thickens the filling perfectly without any fussing, and the combination of almond and vanilla extracts brings out the natural sweetness of the fruit. This is one of my go to recipes when I want to impress guests without spending hours in the kitchen.
