Fresh Cherry Pie image

If you're looking to learn how to make a cherry pie, this recipe is the place to start. This ruby-red cherry pie is just sweet enough, with a hint of almond flavor and a good level of cinnamon. The cherries peeking out of the lattice crust makes it so pretty, too. I like to make a few of these cherry pies throughout the summer. -Josie Bochek, Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin

I'm not a huge fan of cherry pie, but this one was really good. The crust was especially good.
