Cherry pie - I\'ve died and gone to heaven

OH, MY GOD!!!!!  Eve and I (mostly Eve) have created the most absolutely totally fantastically awesome cherry pie that has ever crossed this tounge.  Eve found a recipe online for vegan cherry pie and we gave it a go.  Neither of us have made a fruit pie, although she's made a pumpkin pie and a totally yummy tofu-spinach quiche. We used fresh cherries.  All ingredients were vegan and only the cherries weren't organic.  I did the stemming and pitting (and only ate a couple ~grin~).  Eve made the crust and the sugar/spice mixture (these are where the real magic lie).  It did come out a tad runny, but we'll see how it is after it is fully cooled in the fridge.  Oh, Lord!, I can hardly wait. We had Tofutti vanilla "ice cream" with it and I have to be honest here - it took away from the pie.  That is a first, that ice cream, real or Tofutti, has ever detracted from *any* fruit pie. Once we put it all in the oven we saw, buried down in the comments for the recipe, that the crumb topping should be put on later in the cooking process, not right away, or it may be a bit crunchy.  It was, but it is still fantastic.   I'm at work now and it is 8 hours before I can have more.  I don't know if I will make it.........
