CRUST
FILLING
To prepare crust, in a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut margarine into flour mixture until coarse crumbs form. Add yogurt, tossing with a fork, until a soft dough forms. Shape dough into a disk; wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare filling: In a large bowl, combine pineapple, cherries, sugar, tapioca, and almond extract. Spoon filling into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Preheat oven to 375*. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into an 11-inch circle, cut dough into 1-inch strips. Arrange strips in a lattice pattern over the filling. Fold strips under and press to seal. Bake pie until crust is golden brown and filling bubbles, about 55 minutes. Cool completely.
