Directions
Butter Pie Crust:
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water, a tablespoon at a time, until mixture forms a ball. Flatten slightly into a round disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
- Roll dough out to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Place crust in pie plate. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the pie plate.
Filling:
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Place prepared pie crust in 9-inch glass pie plate.
- For filling, in large bowl, stir together cherry jam, cherries and any remaining juices, flour, sugar, and the cinnamon.
- Sprinkle almond paste over crust bottom in pie plate. Spoon cherries on top of crumbed almond paste.
- For topping, combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, and almonds. Cut in butter until crumbles are the size of small peas. Sprinkle evenly over cherries.
- Bake 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes until cherries are bubbling and topping is golden brown. After about 30 minutes, you may place foil around edges to prevent crust from getting too dark.
- Serve warm or cool.
