Crustless cherry pie?
I love cherry pie but I am a terrible pie crust maker and I actually do not like eating flakey pie crust (probably related) although I enjoy the soggy bottom crust that is soaked with cherry pie filling goodness. Anyway, can I bake a cherry pie without a top crust or do away with the crust altogether? I am not a novice baker in general, but I don't make many pies. Thanks!

If you're absolutely sure you don't like pie crust, I suggest either something along the lines of a cobbler (I like almond-butter streusel with cherry cobbler)...OR just baking pie filling in a ceramic dish, covered tightly in foil. Just make sure the foil isn't resting on the fruit (in case its too acidic), and there are vents cut.
