Valentine Dessert And a Free Local Event...

Need a recipe for February 14th?  Here ya go...

Gotta love recipes with cherry pie filling! 

This is how it appeared before going into the oven...

This is my donation for a Valentine event at the

 antique mall where I sell. 
 

Unfortunately -  I forgot to take a picture of the after.  

All I had left were the few pieces, above, which had fallen apart!  

It should look something like this...
