- ½ cup unsalted butter cut into small pieces
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp almond extract

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8x8 baking dish with a bit of parchment paper, if desired. Lightly spray the baking dish and parchment with cooking spray.
- Combine the cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and almond extract in a bowl; mix well and set aside.
- Pour the flour, almond flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until well combined.
- Add the chopped butter, egg yolk, and almond extract; pulse until the dough is crumbly.

- Top the crust with the cherries and their juices.
- Crumble the remaining dough evenly over the cherries then top with thinly sliced almonds.

- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack until cooled. Cut and serve. Enjoy.
