Step 1
1. Remove pits from cherries. Place the puff pastry into a pie pan. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to chill. Preheat the oven to 220°C. Cover the pastry with foil, place dried beans on top, and bake until lightly golden, about 30 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 190°C.

2. Prepare the almond topping. Pulse the oats in a food processor until you get about 1/2 cup of oat flour. Grind the almonds in a food processor or finely chop them with a knife. Melt the butter and let it cool. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the ground almonds, oat flour, flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt; mix until well blended. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the melted butter. Make the cherry filling. In a large bowl, mix the cherries with sugar, starch, and salt. Add extra sugar if desired.
