. Preheat oven to 350 F.

2. Butter and lightly flour a 9-inch deep dish pie pan, 7-inch by 10-inch rectangular baking dish, or 9-inch square baking dish.

3. To the baking dish, add cherries and slivered almonds, distributing evenly on bottom of dish.

4. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, white sugar, salt, and flour until smooth.

5. Add milk, Amaretto or almond extract, and vanilla extract. Whisk again until smooth.

6. Pour batter into baking dish, covering cherries and slivered almonds.
