Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 2 cups Cherry Pie Filling Swap for fresh pitted cherries for a brighter flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar Reduce if your cherries are already sweet.

  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Almond extract is a fun twist if desired.
For the Topping
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Substitute with almond flour for gluten-free.
