How to Make Cherry Crunch Pie

  1. **Make the Crust:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter (cut into cubes), and 1 cup chopped walnuts. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. **Prepare the Filling:** While the crust is cooling, in a large bowl, beat 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 8 ounces Cool Whip, and 2 cups powdered sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  6. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
  7. **Add the Topping:** Spread two (15 ounce) cans of cherry pie filling evenly over the cream cheese layer.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or preferably overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set before serving.
