Cake Instructions
In a bowl, combine the flour with the sugar and cut in the butter until crumbly. Reserve 3/4 cup of this crumbly mixture and set aside.

In a mixing bowl beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together for one minute. Add the egg and beat just until combined. Spread this over the crust and then carefully spoon cherry pie filling over it evenly. Sprinkle with almonds and reserved crumbly topping.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until set in the center and cool on a wire rack. Run a knife around the edges to loosen and remove sides of the pan. Store in the refrigerator.
