Ingredients
  

  • 1 recipe for single-crust pie dough Izy offers oat or olive oil pie dough options, but I went with my standard all-butter dough I had in the freezer - link in post
  • 1 lb pitted sour or regular cherries
  • 6 tbsp granulated sugar use 5 if regular cherries

For frangipane

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 ½ tbsp unsalted butter softened
  • 1 egg
  • cup ground almonds
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • pinch of salt
  • ½ tsp almond extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Roll out the pie dough between sheets of parchment paper to 1/8" thickness in a rectangle about the same size as your baking sheet.
  • To make the frangipane, cream the sugar and butter until smooth (I used a stand mixer). Mix in the egg, ground almonds, flour, salt and almond extract. Spread the mixture over the dough, leaving a 1 1/4" border around the edges.
  • Toss the cherries with the sugar and lay over top of frangipane, then fold over the border of the dough. Bake for about 50 minutes, until bubbling with a golden crust
