Pistachio Free Paleo Cherry Pie

Few things signal summer quite like a bubbling cherry pie fresh from the oven, and this grain-free version delivers all of that deep, jammy fruit flavor without any of the usual wheat-based crust. The base is built from almond flour and tapioca starch, worked together with solid coconut oil until the dough reaches that perfect crumbly, pliable texture — surprisingly easy to roll out and very forgiving if it cracks. Maple syrup sweetens both the crust and the luscious cherry filling, which gets its glossy, thick consistency from arrowroot starch cooked down with lemon juice and the cherries themselves. A touch of almond extract in the filling is optional but genuinely worth it, adding a subtle warmth that makes the whole thing taste a little more special. Because every ingredient here is straightforward and whole-food based, you never have to second-guess a label or worry about unexpected nuts sneaking in through a processed shortcut. The egg wash — just beaten egg and a drizzle of maple syrup — gives the top crust or lattice that gorgeous deep golden finish you'd expect from any classic bakery pie. Let it cool fully before slicing and you'll be rewarded with clean, beautiful slices and a filling that holds its shape perfectly.
