Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 cans (15 ounces each) pitted tart cherries, drained

1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream

1 egg, beaten

1/4 teaspoon almond extract

1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches)

Topping:

1/2 cup quick-cooking oats

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 cup cold butter

1/2 cup chopped pecans

Preparation

In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cherries, sour cream, egg and extract; stir well. Spoon into the pastry shell. Bake at 400 F. for 20 minutes. For topping, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in pecans. Sprinkle over filling. Cover edges of crust to prevent overbrowning. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until topping is lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 8 servings.
