Another great recipe from Doire Greenspans cookbook. I made this one and my family all most ate the entire pie in one day. The Pistachios give the pie a wonderful taste. It's something you have to try!

How to make it
- Prepare your favorite pie crust
- Roll out the dough into a round 14 inches and 1/4 inch thick. Gently fit in to a 10 inch pie plate. Fold the edges under and crimp. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
- To make the pistachio crumble

- 2. Stir in the melted butter and mix gently to combine.
- Before you make the filling
- Place a rack in the bottom third of your oven. Preheat the oven to 350*. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- To make the Cherry Filling
- 1. In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
- 2. In a medium bowl, place the cherries and sprinkle the flour mixture over the top; mix gently to combine. (If you are using fresh cherries, the natural sweetness can vary. Tate the mixture to see if you need more sugar that is called for.)
- 3. Pour the cherries into the unbaked pie shell.
- To complete the Pie
- 1. Sprinkle the pistachio crumble evenly over the top of the cherries.
- 2. Place the pie plate on the prepared cookie sheet. Bake for about 1 hour and 10 minutes. or until the juices are bubbling and thick. Remove to a rack to cool to room temp. before serving.
I use these cherries for every pie I make
