1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats, uncooked
1 cup sugar, divided
3/4 cup cold butter or margarine
1/2 cup sour cream
2 eggs, divided
1/2 t baking soda
1--8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened
1/4 t almond extract
3/4 cup cherry pie filling
1/3 cup sliced almonds
Preheat oven to 350F.
Grease a 9-inch springform pan. Mix flour, oats and 3/4 cup of the
sugar in large bowl; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse
crumbs. Remove 1 cup of the crumb mixture; set aside. Add sour
cream, 1 of the eggs and baking soda to remaining crumb mixture; mix

cheese, remaining 1/4 cup sugar and almond extract in small bowl with
electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add remaining egg;
beat on low speed just until blended. Spoon into crust. Top with pie
filling; sprinkle with reserved 1 cup crumb mixture and the almonds. Bake
50 - 55 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 15 minutes. Run knife or
metal spatula around rim of pan to loosen cake; remove rim of pan.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover coffee cake in
