Fabulous Cherry Pie image

This cherry pie is quite unique. Instead of the usual crust topping, it is topped with a coconut custard. It is from my late mother's recipe file and was given to her by one of her sisters. Enjoy!

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 9" unbaked pie shell
1 can cherry pie filling
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup flaked coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Pour half of the can of cherry pie filling into the pie shell, sprinkle with almond extract, and add the rest of the pie filling.
  • The almond extract really brings out the flavor of the cherries for a"just picked" taste.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes.
  • While pie is baking, beat eggs and stir in sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract and coconut.
  • Remove pie from oven and pour or spoon egg-coconut mixture over the top of the pie.
  • Return pie to oven and bake an additional 25-30 minutes or until brown.
