1 pie shell, 9 inch, unbaked 
21 oz cherry pie filling   
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon       
1/8 teaspoon salt (optional) 
1 teaspoon lemon juice    

1 cup coconut        
1/2 cup almonds, sliced 
1/4 cup sugar          
1/8 teaspoon salt (optional) 
1/4 cup milk 
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Preheat oven to 400F. Roll out pie pastry and place in 9 inch pie
pan.  In large bowl, combine pie filling, cinnamon, salt and lemon
juice. Mix lightly. Spoon into crust-lined pie pan. Bake 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine all topping ingredients in medium bowl and mix
until blended. Remove pie from oven after 20 minutes, spread topping
