Sweet Cherrity Pie

(another magazine clipping from way back!)

ingredients:

1 c. all purpose flour

1/2 to 1 cup finely chopped nuts

1/4 c. packed brown sugar

1/2 c. cold butter or margarine

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

1 c. confectioners' sugar

1/2 tsp. almond extract

1 c. whipping cream, whipped

1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling

preparation:

Combine flour, nuts and brown sugar in a small bowl; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Transfer to a 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan. Bake at 375F for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown, stirring once. Reserve 1/2 cup of crumb mixture for topping. Using a spoon, firmly press remaining crumbs into an ungreased 9-in. pie plate; chill. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and extract until smooth. Spread over crust. Fold the whipped cream into the cherry pie filling; spoon over cream cheese layer. Sprinkle with reserved crumbs. Refridgerate 1-2 hours before serving.

Yum!

This is a great pie for the holidays! It is so creamy and rich! No one will refuse a slice!

I do not know why people buy prepared pies at the grocery store, when homemade is so much better tasting, easy to prepare, and extremely cheaper!

You will need a large bowl of vanilla ice cream for Day 6's recipe! :)
