There's something wonderfully simple about this cherry pie that keeps me coming back to it. Fresh pitted cherries nestled in a buttery crust, topped with a nutty crumb mixture that's honestly easier to throw together than you'd think. The almonds in that topping aren't just delicious; they're packed with protein and healthy fats that make this feel a little less indulgent than your typical pie. Best of all, this whole project takes just under ninety minutes from start to finish, so you can have homemade pie on the table without spending your entire afternoon in the kitchen. It's the kind of recipe that tastes like you fussed over it far more than you actually did.
