“This pie was my dad’s favorite and one my mom made frequently for Sunday dinner,” recalls Sandy Jenkins from Elkhorn, Wisconsin. “We had a farm, so mom made her own butter and ice cream, and she used our fresh dairy products for this pie’s great topping.”

Excellent recipe....great reviews from my family. I will certainly save this recipe to make when we have company. I spread out the crust and cut a little heart out with a cookie cutter and bake on the top just like Grand Traverse...so cute! I did not make the whipped cream along with it, so I can not rate that.

My boyfriend's mom made this for thanksgiving a few years ago and I could have eaten the whole pie. She accidentally put some almond extract in the topping too, and I keep putting a few drops in when I make it too. I have made this a couple times for holidays and it is my "go to" recipe for cherry pie ( I have never been much of a double crust person). The crust is so easy and good I may try it for other recipes as well. Thanks for the great recipe!

What a wonderful pie! The filling was just a tad too sweet for my taste, so next time I'll use less sugar. I also used 1/2 c. sliced almonds for the topping--marvelous! This is my new "standard" cherry pie recipe.
