Think outside the pie dish!

Calling all cherry lovers! This double cherry-almond slab pie is here to move to the top of your favorite summer desserts list! Not to knock cherry cobbler or cherry crisp, but this crowd-pleasing pie will be your new favorite, thanks to its flaky, all-butter piecrust, double cherry filling (fresh and dried), and the luscious bits of sweet almond paste that melt into the filling. Scoop out the ice cream and call the kids—it's time for a treat!

fresh or thawed frozen sweet cherries, pitted

lemon zest plus 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice

large egg, for egg wash

Pop the assembled pie in the freezer for 15 to 30 minutes before baking, to help the edges firm up and hold their shape.
