The crust on this pie was a little soggy, but the filling was delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of cherry pie, but I really enjoyed this one. The almond mousse filling is a nice twist.

This pie was a hit! The cherry filling was tart and tangy, and the almond mousse was light and fluffy. The crust was flaky and buttery. I will definitely be making this pie again.
